Hurstville Grove, Moore Reserve Wetland

The Moore Reserve Wetland is located in the southern suburb of Hurstville Grove. Moore Reserve was created in the 1960s by infilling with mud dredged from Oatley Bay. An artificial wetland was constructed in 2001 using natural processes to treat 95% of all stormwater run off from the 125-hectare catchment before it enters Oatley Bay.

Hurstville Grove, Oatley Bay

This view of the mangroves and trees at Hurstville Grove is from Oatley Bay. The sunset shots that I featured yesterday were taken from the middle of these mangroves.

Oatley Bay

A crisp Autumn evening provides a clear and colourful sunset. The sky went from yellow to orange to purple to blue. Oatley Bay sits on the Georges River and provides a natural border between the suburbs of Oatley, Hurstville Grove and Connells Point.

Hurstville Grove, wetlands

The Moore Reserve Wetland is located in the southern suburb of Hurstville Grove, close to the Georges River. I didn't know these wetlands existed in the middle of this suburban area, so I was quite surprised to stumble across them recently.
