About 3km south of Atherton on the Herberton Rd Hastie Rd heads east to the Kennedy Hwy from which the site can also be accessed from. At the western end of Hastie Rd Koci runs south, it’s a dead end road and the birdhide is unmissable on the west side. This small lake that dries up towards the end of the dry season is a dynamic place. The birds come and go as the seasons change. An important part of this site is the road, which has remnant rainforest trees along it making some of the rainforest birds easier to see than usual. There is a two storey high bird hide with a toilet next to it at a small car park, which is where the site is centred.
No camping is advised here
