Wonderful Barcoo Wetlands



Wonderful Barcoo Wetlands


Did you know that wetlands are often called the kidneys of freshwater river systems? This is because they filter and purify the dirt and toxins from the water ..........before the water reaches the main rivers and lakes. The wetland
areas also assist in reducing the impact of floods, and provide critical habitats
for our plant and animal species. This image depicts a wetland area between Jundah and Windorah, which forms part of the Lake Eyre Basin.
