Gum Swamp Bird Hide

National Parks and Reserves

Gum Swamp attracts many different species of birdlife all year round.

A popular location for both the birdlife and the enthusiasts who wish to observe them.

It can be found just a few kilometres south of the town of Forbes, just off the highway on Greens Road, and features 4 “hides” allowing people the opportunity to view the birds in their habitat.

Catch sight of the magnificent goanna sculpture (aka Gugaa) as you take the path into the reserve area from the carpark.
