The Refreshing Rivers project has started off works to restore the banks of Morleys Creek which is in the heart of Gundagai. The project is a partnership with Brungle Tumut Local Aboriginal Land Council and Cootamundra Gundagai Regional Council.
Morleys Creek is an important waterway for the township and for traditional owners. It provides a number of benefits including recreational fishing, ecotourism, cultural heritage and livestock water. The Creek also provides habitat for a number of species including platypus, rakali (water rat) and native fish including flathead gudgeon and western carp gudgeon.
Together, we're:
- removing invasive species
- stabilising creek banks
- planting native vegetation
- undertaking water quality assessments
- assessing biodiversity using eDNA
- supporting cultural and ecological restoration
Join us to look for and photograph flora and fauna, share your findings on iNaturalist, and have your findings verified by experts.
