At the southern end of the Island is this mangrove wetland that once must have had a healthy population of Coastal Sheoks along its fringe – almost all are dead now creating a physical barrier to entry. At high tide there is about 13 Hectares of flooded mangrove wetland and dead standing trees – its a lot of fun to paddle through and somewhat spooky in places – the rainbow lorikeets are nesting in the dead tree hollows, shorebirds, night herons and schools of small fish are everywhere. This is less than 20 minutes paddle from the main land. Is good to be back on the water…. DT
