White-faced Heron

White-faced Heron

Access to Werribee Sewage Works is restricted to those people with keys which allow one to pass through the numerous gates. The area of land which can be visited with a key is vast and includes fields, lakes, wetlands, seafront, reed beds and muddy fringes. It is certainly a great place to see water birds.
