The Heart Morass extends from just east of Sale, at Flooding Creek, to Lake Wellington on the northern side of the Thomson River to the Swing Bridge (opens 3pm on Sundays) then the Latrobe River to the lake. It is best described as a shallow lake with fringing reed beds, mud flats and grasslands. It is 1-2 km wide and about 11 km long. The Field and Game Association own/manage it and are doing a top job of continual improvement with revegetation (from old farm paddocks) and weed control.
Here are images of birds I saw during an unsuccessful search for reported Plumed Whistling-Ducks.
