TYTO Wetlands
A 90-hectare wetland park beside Ingham, with 4 km of boardwalks and bird hides where more than 230 bird species and agile wallabies can be seen.
TYTO Wetlands sits right beside central Ingham and takes its name from the grass owls (Tyto) that inhabit it. About 4 km of trails and boardwalks loop around lagoons and grasslands, with several bird hides. More than 230 bird species have been recorded, including magpie geese, comb-crested jacanas and blue-winged kookaburras. At dusk, agile wallabies graze on the grass. The TYTO Centre at the entrance combines visitor information, a regional art gallery and a library, where you can pick up a map first. Admission is free, the trails are open all day, and the centre is open roughly 9:00–16:00.
