Where exactly is east platform? I guess is not the one on Halls road, how to get there?

Thanks, haven't been there, will try it out next time. Sounds like a good spot for shorebirds.

Spent the day there today. Thanks for the tips - saw egrets, herons, cormorants, wigeons, mergansers and sandpipers.
