Patawalonga Creek in winter, viewed from West Beach Road, looking south towards the remnant stand of Swamp Paperbarks (Melaleuca halmaturorum), with Glenelg in the background.
The Great Egret (left foreground) is an occasional visitor to the creek.
The isolation of this last remnant of the Reedbeds on land reserved for Adelaide Airport's third runway, has so far protected this important remnant of native vegetation from destruction.
