Tamar Island Wetlands Centre

What an enjoyable walk. About 1km walk from the start. We visited in the morning and it was a great way to wake up those tired legs and see some stunning views and wildlife. Worth the pitstop Master Paul Mitchell Founder United Taekwondo

This wetland is a place has beautiful and ever changing views. One of my favorite spots to unwind, such a peaceful place, and what you see really depends on the weather, the light, and whether the tide is in or out—so every visit feels a little different. I usually spot black swans, and sometimes ducks or seagulls. If it is a lucky day, you might even see a wallaby or pademelon. And there are always lots of birds around if it is the season. When the tide is high, the water turns into a big, still mirror reflecting the sky, it’s absolutely beautiful. A great place for a quiet walk or just to slow down and take in nature.

What a lovely place to visit! The walk is so beautiful and serene. I saw so many different species of birds and even a few snakes. Loved it!

One of Tasmania’s 60 Great Short Walks. Sign says 3km/1hr return though I clocked 4km/1.5hr return (at a moderate pace with stops). Easy, flat boardwalk, leads out to Tamar Island with toilet & BBQ facilities + a tap.. nice spot for a picnic though I couldn’t imagine being bothered to lug all my gear that far to use it. Mostly same scenery along the walk, though thats to be expected for wetlands. We spotted 16 different species of bird. Visitor centre open from 10am from Wednesday onward. Entry via $3 donation though this isn’t mandatory & it appears locals use this walk for daily exercise anyway 🙂 🦢🦅🦆

Brilliant place, saw some lowland copperheads and a wide range of bird species. The range of habitats is impressive too. The volunteers/staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly which was great.

A lovely place to visit. The staff were really friendly and full of information. You can spot some special birds if you're lucky!

Beautiful walk, roughly just over an hour return. The bird hide is awesome, there is a public toilet at the end of the walk. Lots of wildlife when at the water bridge areas, otherwise mostly long reeds. It's a bridge walk the whole way and well maintained. There is a donation box and a centre at the beginning with taxidermy animals, great for the kids!

The office closes at 4 pm but the broadwalk can be accessed any time. Plenty of wildlife to look at. We saw a snake at the end of the walk.
