Manly Harbour
This artificial high tide roost is a restricted access site and the fenced area must not be entered without permission. The Queensland Wader Study Group conduct regular monthly counts throughout the year, including very occasional public ID Days at this site; contact them to join a count.
There is plenty of on-street parking along Davenport Drive but the site has no other facilities once inside the fence. The roost is built on the grounds of the Manly Boat Harbour.
