Only a nesting area if there are very large, mature eucalypts (usually Yellow Box or Blakely's Red Gum) with suitable hollows.

Ok thanks. There is a stand of very tall eucalypts on the opposite bank quite close to the main swimming hole. Don’t know the species. Although I’ve never seen them on that side of the creek it’s surely possible. I’ll check them out for possible nesting holes
