Conditions throughout the 2022-23 water year (July 2022 – June 2023) were relatively wet. Within the Lower Guwayda and Gingham systems an estimated 60,000 nests were recorded of various waterbird species. Warrambool (wetland) vegetation continued to respond favourably to the wet conditions, however native fish populations have remained in poor conditions. Read the details in this issue.

The Warriku-Baaka (Warrego-Darling) Selected Area has had a lot of things happening in the 2022-23 water year, with good flows through the system, breeding of Kularku (Brolga) and lots of monitoring. Read all about it here.

The Guwayda Warrambools (Gwydir Wetlands) are recognised as internationally important and host a variety of significant waterbird species. Read here to learn all about them.

The Flow-MER team members for the Warriku-Baaka (Warrego-Darling) and Gwydir Selected Areas caught up on the 27th of October to discuss progress and plans for this water year.
