Wader Walk (Serendip Sanctuary)

Take this walk for a quieter view of both lakes and to spend some time in a 'wilder' setting. Sit awhile at the Wader bird hide watching their antics. This walk is very different as it is removed from the areas closer to the picnic area and animal enclosures. The return walk is 3km and takes 1 hour.
