A constructed wetlands on the Mortlake-Ararat Rd at Salt Ck, it’s about 500m east of Woorndoo settlement. There’s an interesting mix of habitats here from the lake with a few shrubs around it to the large row of wind-break trees around the paddocks along both Streatham and Dundonnell Roads.

Camp rating 3 there’s a plantation on the east side of the wetlands that hides you from the main road, but it’s right by the road and is not an established campsite.
