Island Point Reserve — Attraction in Herron

It's a beautiful little spot with plenty of space for picnics. There's some great birdlife too, however it's nowhere near as nice as it could be. Whether because the effort has never been put in to really fixing it up/maintaining it, or because people just ruin it for themselves, I'm not sure. There is trash everywhere despite the obvious presence of bins. The toilets are disgusting. There's not much in the way of benches/built shade structures etc, however there's ample shade under the trees so you'd just need a few camp chairs & tables. There's a swing set for the kids and some struggling grass, though it's mostly dirt. You can bring your pups, though they must be kept on a leash. I hope to see this spot cleaned up next time I visit,...

Just a little off the highway you can feel you have stepped back in time. Here you can feel the breeze on your face as it has danced across the water. Hear and see the unique bird life as they dart through the trees, soar across the sky or just stare down majestically from the tall trees unconcerned to the human race below. Track is unsealed and a little rough for wheelchairs, but toilets available and the views are incredible. A great place to relax and unwind, paint, lunch and enjoy nature. Shhh. Don't...

Nice little spot ... safe all hours.

Very popular with the Aurora hunters! Please be respectful and dip your lights when approaching the Estuary end so you don't ruin long-exposure photographs... :)

Also a favourite for those hunting crabs during the on-season (permit essential).
