Dolores
Aliases: Riverside Park
This nice little town is a good home for visitors and provides all the amenities. The best birding in town is at Joe Rowell Park right off the main drag, where you can access a footpath through some very nice riparian habitat. You might find a dipper here, particularly in winter.
