Magpie Geese and Black Swans regularly build large nests amongst the reeds in the shallow waters. Along the shoreline I frequently see turtles, water dragons, eastern grey kangaroos, and even the occasional swamp wallaby.
From pademelons to land mullets, paradise riflebirds to neon cuckoo bees, West Cooroy State Forest is brimming with fascinating wildlife.
