Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre is perched on Beatrice Hill, one of the highest points on the Adelaide River floodplain. The Visitor Centre provides an introduction to the northern coastal wetlands. The upswept line of the roof echoes the wings of the dancing brolga, one of the most spectacular wetland birds.
At the centre you will find interactive displays about seasonal changes, the ecological processes that occur in the wetlands and the problems of feral animals and weeds. Touch-screen computers help you find detailed information on wildlife and local Aboriginal and European history. From the top floor of the Visitor Centre you can enjoy the superb views across the floodplains, especially during the early morning or late afternoon. In the wet season you can see the flooded wetlands and if you are lucky, spectacular lightning storms. Flooded for half of the year and baked for the other half, this is a region of great contrasts.
