South of Sydney, I can highly recommend Lake Conjola 20 minutes north of Ulludulla. It's a superb tidal lake that's gets good numbers of waders, like godwits, sandpiper, oyster catchers, herons to name a few. Low tide is best as you can walk out over the extensive sand flats.
I've also heard there's a good spot near Shellharbour not far south of Wollongong.
