By the way, in case you are wondering, Brady Swamp is now full and looking absolutely stunning. Once inflows reduce and downstream river levels fall we’ll get a proper sense of the new swamp retention height for the first time since permanent restoration works were completed last year.
It will be a very interesting summer ahead, as the wildlife in the swamp bounces back!
