Right: A surfacing cormorant ripples the glassy surface of Wolli Creek east of the Henderson Street footbridge and weir. At this point Wolli Creek is tidal and therefore brackish. The pale seedheads seen here are southern reed (Phragmites australis).

Left: A boobook owl (Ninox novaeseelandiae) at its daytime roost below Nannygoat Hill. Annually, more than 90 species of native birds are recorded in the Wolli Valley.

Right: The mangrove-lined section of Wolli Creek near its junction with Cooks River is framed in this view by the heritage-listed 1890s aqueduct at Undercliffe.
