Internationally recognised by Ramsar, the Fivebough Wetlands in Leeton is home to a range of birdlife, including, depending on the time of year, migratory species. Keep your eyes peeled for rare and threatened species like the Australian painted snipe, glossy ibis, magpie goose and freckled duck. Located just three kilometres from Leeton’s main street, walk or cycle the woodland and wetland tracks to birdwatch from the viewing shelters or pack a lunch to enjoy at Budyaan Baamirra Picnic Area.

🚧 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 🚧 Leeton Shire Council wishes to inform the community about a temporary closure of the walking track at Fivebough Wetlands. 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮: Walking track access between the Glossy Ibis Shelter and the Freckled Duck Shelter on the eastern extent of the Fivebough track loop will be temporarily closed. Refer to the map for specific details. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀: The walking track between the Budyaan Baamirra Picnic Area, Wiradjuri Walk, and Brolga Shelter will remain open for use. 📅 Late May to early August, weather permitting. The closure is necessary to allow the @NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure – Crown Lands to: - Repair eroded sections of the northern walking track. - Replace damaged fencing between the walking tracks and grazing area. - Install new educational and navigational signage. For any questions regarding this project, please contact griffith.crownlands@crownland.nsw.gov.au.
