Welcome to the Melaleuca Wetlands

Welcome to the Melaleuca Wetlands

For thousands of years Quandamooka people have valued these wetlands. We have an ongoing connection to this special place through inherited responsibilities, traditional knowledge, shared stories and surviving cultural sites.

The spirit of Caring for Country continues.

This Oodjeroo Oodjeroo (Melaleuca) sanctuary is protected by the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty to conserve our most valuable wetlands through wise use and management.

By keeping the pathway you are showing respect and helping to look after this fragile environment.
