These two beauties love the warmer weather.

Swamp lily and wavy marshwort in Reedy Lagoon on the Gunbower Forest Floodplain have been waiting for the weather to warm up to make the most of the recent water for environment flows.

Tell us below how you've been coping with the heat where you are.

UPDATE: Loddon River downstream of Loddon Weir.

A summer fresh of up to 100ML/day will flow down the Loddon for 5 days from 22 Jan to help improve water quality, flush sediment and films to promote new growth, support vegetation, and increase connectivity between pools for localised fish movement.

Five years of dedication has paid off.

Our recent survey at Reedy Lagoon captured 215 southern pygmy perch - mostly juveniles!

Thanks to environmental water, community-led breeding, and smart stocking strategies, this little fish is making a big comeback.
