Old Prawn Farm Wetlands is a wetland on South Head Road in South Head, Rodney, and its two key ecosystems are raupō reedland and Machaerina sedgeland. The wetland is habitat for secretive wetland birds, including matuku hūrepo (Australasian bittern) and mātātā (fernbird), so it is a place for people who want to see native wetland plants and birds in their setting.
The wetland's reedland and sedgeland are its main draw, and they give the birds cover to live in. Our pick on South Head for wetland birdlife.
