A flora and fauna sanctuary, a "must" for the bird lover! The Liverpool Plains is known for its many and varied bird species such as the Diamond Firetail and Black-chinned Honeyeater. This dam is known worldwide and has a newly constructed Bird Hide on the edge of the dam. The Bird Hide overlooks this pristine flora and fauna sanctuary. According to some sources the dam filled with silt during the 1940's, attributed to the rabbit plagues and developed a habitat which attracts both water and woodland birds. The sanctuary continues upstream along the creek for about 1km.

Directions: From Quirindi follow the Werris Creek Road for 10km. Turn right into the Quipolly Road for 5km to the new dam, an open area. Continue 1km to a T intersection, turn left - 4km to Hide.

Come and be part of the phenomenon of bird watching.
