Bidyadanga

The long sweep of Eighty Mile Beach borders the sea southwest of Bidyadanga. Its broad tidal flats feed great knots and other migratory shorebirds, while flatback turtles nest on the sand. Inland, the Mandora marshes contain seasonal lakes and permanent freshwater springs. Karajarri people call the beach Wender, and the freshwater soaks behind it have long supplied drinking water.
