The Mareeba region in Queensland, Australia, offers excellent birdwatching opportunities in diverse landscapes, including wetlands, savannah woodlands, and rainforests. Some of the top birdwatching sites in the Mareeba region include Mareeba Wetlands, nestled within 5,000 acres of grassland and open savanna woodland, Hastie's Swamp, located about 4 km from Atherton, and Cattana Wetlands, only 15 minutes from the center of Cairns. Eubenangee Swamp is another notable site with a large natural wetland area that is home to saltwater crocodiles but features a boardwalk for safe birdwatching.
In addition to these sites, FNQ Nature Tours offers customized birdwatching tours in the Mareeba Savannah/Wetland Country, with exclusive access to the Forever Wild Shared Earth Reserve. The Atherton Tablelands, Daintree Rainforest, and Mount Lewis are also popular birdwatching destinations in the region.
