Wander Into the Wild at Mokoan Ponds – Winton Wetlands

Step into nature and slow down your pace with a peaceful walk along the tranquil Mokoan Ponds, nestled within the breathtaking Winton Wetlands. This serene 4 kilometer return trail (graded easy) is perfect for a gentle stroll that brings you closer to the wonders of the wild.

As you meander quietly along the water’s edge, keep your eyes peeled—you are in for a treat. Spot Black Swamp Wallabies bounding through the reeds, glimpse Eastern Long Neck Turtles basking near the banks, and if you are lucky, catch a rare sighting of the elusive Rakali (Australia’s native water rat) darting through the shallows.

The ponds are also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with the skies and treetops alive with the vibrant sounds and colours of local birdlife. Whether you are a seasoned wildlife enthusiast or simply love a moment of calm in nature, Mokoan Ponds offers a truly magical escape.

Breathe in the fresh air, listen to the rustle of reeds and birdsong, and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world
