About Austin Rise
Austin Rise is close to the Yarra Flats reserves, which are basically the flood plain for the river and a wonderful area to see wildlife. The walking trails take you alongside the river and through the woodlands where it is possible to see waterbirds such as egrets and ibis, several species of ducks and colourful Laughing Kookaburra, Rainbow Lorikeets, Sulphur crested Cockatoo and Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. Late in the day, it is also possible to see species of Kangaroo and Wallaby.
