Locum tenens working in the Australian city of Brisbane can see a wide range of exotic birds and other animals when they visit the thriving Boondall Wetlands.
The marshy area, which is situated along the edge of Queensland's Moreton Bay, is protected by the Boondall Wetlands Reserve, a preservation zone established in 1990. Covering more than 2,700 acres of terrain, the reserve is considered to be one of Australia's most internationally significant ecological regions.
To best experience the area, visitors should go to the Boondall Wetlands Environment Centre, a traveler-oriented facility dedicated to disseminating information about the area's ecosystem. From here, they can explore a network of elevated walkways, bikeways and birdwatching platforms.
Boondall is most famous as a home for birds, as it is home to up to 190 species. Many of these creatures are migratory and use the region as a stopover point during their long journey from the Northern Hemisphere, where they spend the summer. Other animals found in the Boondall Wetlands include invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians and mammals.
