All By Myself

A lone fisherman at the end of 9 Mile Beach, Tasmania. It is here that Moulting Lagoon drains out into Coles Bay at Point Bagot, with Freycinet Peninsula National Park in the Distance.

Moulting Lagoon is a Game Reserve and is one of ten Ramsar sites (wetlands of international significance) listed in Tasmania. Moulting Lagoon is on this list because it supports a large number of waterbirds, particularly black swans and Australian shelducks, at key stages of their lifecycles. It provides year-round habitat for around 8,000 black swans and is a critical late summer staging area for shelducks, chestnut teal, and several shorebird species. The largest Tasmanian flock of greenshank also occurs at the lagoon.
