DESKTOP 2673 - ALTONA WETLANDS

The Altona Important Bird Area (IBA) comprises several wetland sites on, or close to, the north-western coast of Port Phillip in Victoria, south-eastern Australia. Collectively they total 1223 hectares in area and lie within, or adjacent to, the western suburbs of the city of Melbourne. They were classified as an IBA because they support more than 1% of the world populations of Red-necked Stint, Chestnut Teal and Pacific Gull.

  1. That looks like a great place for a ride or walk. I bet there would be a lot to photograph, too, if one would look hard enough :)

    What a fantastic addition to 'My Corner of the World' this week!
