Wedge-tailed Eagle Chicks
There is a very special visitor at Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk!
We’re excited to share that a Wedge-tailed Eagle chick has recently been sighted at Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk. This magnificent species is an important part of our local ecosystem, and its presence is a wonderful sign of the biodiversity being supported across the site. At this time of year, it’s particularly important that Wedge-tailed Eagles are given plenty of space and minimal disturbance. Human activity close to nesting and breeding areas can cause birds to become stressed or abandon important areas.
This is why the walking track at Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk remains closed at this time. The temporary closure helps give this incredible bird the best chance to safely raise its young and continue using the site.
We know many people are eager to explore the tracks, but giving wildlife space is one of the most valuable ways we can care for our local environment.
Thank you for respecting the closure and helping protect this very special resident. We’ll keep you updated when the track is ready to reopen.
