Review:

The Birdsland Reserve is composed of two lakes which is part of the Monbulk Creek Retarding Basin. You can ride or walk along the side of the smaller lake and all the way around the larger lake. The path is gravel with small stones. This place seems very popular with people walking their dog. At the start point is a shelter and toilets. There is also a connection to the vast expanse of Lysterfield Park. The reserve is locked at night.
