Starting from the Ngak Indau car park off Lock 4 Road, Murray River National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit around the Ngak Indau Wetland via the Ngak Indau Wetland Trail. This moderately short and easy loop takes walkers around the Ngak Indau Wetland in the Katarapko North section of Murray River National Park, providing excellent opportunities for viewing wetland birdlife. Ngak Indau is a temporary wetland that cycles through wet and dry periods, with water levels regulated by structures at either end of the creek that feeds the wetland. The trail winds its way around the wetland, passing a bird hide before heading along the banks of the Murray River and back again. The trail is well-marked, with interpretive signs describing the native vegetation found in the area. A range of waterbirds including pelicans, spoonbills, ducks and herons can be observed from the bird hide, while red-capped robins are often seen around the saltbush along the river. Kangaroos and lizards can also be seen along the trail, while brushtail possums can be spotted after dark. This loop consists of narrow, mostly flat walking trails, with uneven and compacted natural surfaces suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
