This event is a partnership between Yanco Creek and Tributaries Advisory Council Inc. and the Refreshing Rivers Project (assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust). We thank the Jerilderie Fishing Club for volunteering their time to assist with the event, and Charlie carp for donating products for the Lucky Entry Prize.

We lacked information on the aquatic wildlife of the Upper Billabong catchment, so using Citizen Science - the Refreshing Rivers iNaturalist project and eDNA tests, we have gathered 1,672 observations across the catchment and also completed 9 eDNA profiles in local waterways.

Courtesy of the Refreshing Upper Billabong project, we have a limited number of tubestock suitable for planting both instream and along creek banks to reduce erosion and create habitat.

Extreme low flows are pushing refuge pools to their limits. Heat, sediment, salinity and stock impacts are degrading water quality and threatening native fish. This article outlines what’s causing it and practical steps we can take to protect our waterways.
