Description of Forbes Bird Hide
Forbes Bird Hide is on the southern outskirts of Forbes. As the place name suggests there is a bird hide here for bird watching and many species abound. A non-specific free camp area is also at this site, but no facilities at all for sanitation. It is far enough off the highway for a quiet nights rest.
