River Journey stop 6, The Gwydir River system
High flows and targeted use of water for the environment have supported positive outcomes for waterbirds and vegetation in the Gwydir river system, with ~45,000 nests detected across 14 colonially nesting bird species, as well as high species diversity of plants and evidence of continued tree recruitment. Fish responses have been mixed and there are concerns for Murray cod and golden perch populations in the catchment and the broader Northern Basin.
