There is a chain of new hotels that has just established in Tumut, but their guests will be fish!
Following the recent cultural burn, a series of fish hotels, rock atolls, and aquatic vegetation have been established at the Tumut Wetlands. It's all part of a long-term plan to improve biodiversity, waterway health, and restore fish habitat encompassed by the Refreshing Rivers project.
Seven fish hotels and 600 plants were installed with the help and guidance of Ozfish, along with Brungle Tumut Local Aboriginal Land Council, and Boys from the Bush.

Through the Refreshing Rivers Program, we are looking for landholders with farm dams, gravel pits or wetlands, who are interested in establishing refuge "arks" for this rare species of fish.
