At the western end of Campbell Street in Wonthaggi there is a patch of bush commonly referred to as the Campbell Street Bush. 

As well as natural vegetation there are some very tall cypress trees and it is here that the ibises like to roost at this time of the year

One morning recently when I went for my walk with the whippet, the sun had barely risen and the air was chilly and still. The ibises, both Australian white and the straw-necked, were there in their hundreds.
