Narran Lakes bounces back to life
Water is flowing into one of the most important waterbird breeding sites in Australia thanks to much needed rainfall and a joint effort between the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office (CEWO) and the QLD government.

Decent flows into the Narran Lakes in north-west NSW are helping the wetland come back to life after years of drought. Traditional owners and scientists monitoring the flow are reporting that animals are emerging from the dry lake bed and important bird-nesting plants are getting a much-needed drink. Waterbirds are expected to start arriving in the coming weeks.

The participation of the Traditional Owners in the monitoring is particularly significant as the Narran Lakes, or Dharriwaa to the local Yuwaalaraay / Euahlayi First Nations peoples, is a highly significant cultural site and meeting place.
