Gulpa Wetlands: Stories of Culture, Conservation, and Collaboration
Embark on a captivating journey as we explore the culturally and environmentally significant Gulpa Creek wetlands in Southwest New South Wales, nestled within the Millewa Forest. Comparable in importance to the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo, these wetlands play a vital role in the environment. Explore the fascinating stories of the Australasian bittern and the unique creation story linked to the Murray River. Witness the richness of Gulpa Creek's ecosystem, encompassing rare species and an enchanting soundscape of water birds, with the preservation of this unique area evidence of the collaborative efforts among local communities, Aboriginal groups, landholders, and the government's Water for the Environment department.
