“We’ve got to find ways to meet our needs without destroying the very thing we rely on... not just for food and clothing, but for our mental and spiritual wellbeing.”

This campaign is coordinated by the Australian River Restoration Centre on behalf of a consortium of partners who care deeply about the Upper Murrumbidgee River.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and recognise their continuing connection with, and knowledge about, land, waters and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
