On the corner of Glenelg Hwy and the Warnambool Rd on the south side of the settlement, the wetland is connected to Muston Ck. It usually has some water in it, ans is best viewed from the roadside. On the north side of the Glenelg Hwy is some woodland that is usually worth a look into, again from the roadside, as the area is fenced off.
No camping advised here.
