Quipolly Dam Recreation Area & Bird Hide

The new Quipolly Dam was constructed in 1955, mainly to provide drinking water to the residents of Werris Creek and nature lovers will love old Quipolly Dam, now a habitat for a wonderful array of water and migratory bird species, with the bird hid drawing twitches and photographers from all over the world. Keep an eye out for a soaring sea eagle or the rare diamond firetails and black-chinned honeyeaters, so well as native marsupials like kangaroos, koalas and gliders. This flora and fauna sanctuary is also the perfect spot for a quiet wander along the walking paths, a picnic or a spot of fishing. Picnic tables and toilet.
