This signage reads in part: The Macquarie Marshes is a significant wetland situated at the lower end of the Macquarie River in central N.S.W. It is one of the largest remaining inland semi-permanent wetlands in south-eastern Australia. The Marsh is approximately 200,000 hectares, 100 km long and 25-30 km wide, of which 18,192 ha is managed by the N.S.W. National Parks and Wildlife Service as Macquarie Marshes Nature Reserve. The remaining 90% is mainly freehold land managed for agricultural purposes.

it is pretty. the blue waters mixed with the green grasses is comforting - especially when we're hoping for rain right now where i'm at. :)
coots we have a lot of, but no pelicans. I live in Sweden. :)
Ours are American Coots. I wonder how they differ? Probably ours eat more junk food.
A wonderful spot for bird-watching .... I always love to see pelicans with their big pink beaks ... So photogenic!
What a great photo Carole, especially the pelicans I find very beautiful.
Greetings Irma
Wonderful photographs, I like to admire such views. I am greeting
Your white pelicans have a much larger black wing patch than those I find in Texas.
Beautiful images. I bet it is a fantastic place to stop and enjoy the scenes and the bird activity!!!
That is an extensive marsh!! But lots of room for the birds, and the wild pigs!
Wonderful images Carole...
Can I swap your blue skies for mine...
Beautiful shots!
It looks like a great place to visit.
Wish you a wonderful weekend.
