In November through December 2023, the Australian River Restoration Centre conducted a wide-ranging community survey to measure the awareness, opinions, desires and values of people across Australia who care about the health of the Upper Murrumbidgee River. The response was overwhelming — people are deeply connected to this river, and are strongly invested in its health.
