BIRDWATCHING 2023-06-25 Archerfield Wetlands, Durack

Prior to European settlement this area would have been a tall dense forest within a low-lying floodplain. Today, it is relatively open forest with forest red gum and grey ironbark as dominant canopy trees. Swamp Box, Swamp She-Oak, and Paperbarks form the subcanopy or scrub layer. Archerfield Wetlands is a low-lying area that sits within the Oxley floodplains. During high tides and heavy rainfall Oxley, Blunder and Hanleys Creeks overflow and spill across the floodplains. The Wetlands fills up absorbing and slowing down the water, helping reduce downstream flooding.
