In my other article this month, I mentioned how rainfall has not fallen evenly across the landscape surrounding the Grampians this year, leading to highly variable conditions for local wetlands. Although the plains around the Grampians-Gariwerd National Park remain quite dry, the higher elevations in...
It is proving to be a very 'patchy' season for wetlands in the cross-border zone between South Australia and Victoria.For instance, uneven rainfall distribution in the southern Grampians region means that while Gooseneck and Brady Swamp have received inflows from the Wannon River, NGT's neighbouring...
We've been on quite the journey over the past couple of years, but thanks to more than 200 donors getting behind the project over that time, we were able to first secure (via Stage 1 in 2025) - and now double the size (via Stage...

In our special mid-month newsletter a couple of weeks ago, we shared a story with a series of before and after photos at Windermere Bay, north of Hobart, showing the rapid return of saltmarsh to the site is underway. This was just 12 months after...

For anyone that missed it, I thought I'd share a great little story I came across recently (and others also kindly shared with me) about a community led wetland restoration project in Western Australia that I found really inspiring. I also find it reassuring whenever...
