This month's outing will be to Goolwa, starting at the Sewage Ponds and moving on to the Barrage.
On the north side of Goolwa, near the Primary School, turn west on Kessell Road.
After about 1 km, look for the Evaporation Pond area on the right (UBD Map 307, H 4). 

To reach the Barrage parking area: Goolwa Barrage
Approaching Goolwa from either north or west, you will find yourself on the Hutchinson Street section of the main road through Goolwa (UBD Map 307, N 7). Turn south on Oliver Street at the corner where there is a petrol station, cross the railway line and then turn left on Barrage Road, just following the curve. Continue along Barrage Road for about 3 km until you reach the gates of the Barrage area and park there (UBD Map 308, G 16).
 
To avoid confusion, meet at the parking area near the electricity substation: 
turn off right just after the substation (and the rural number 114).
