Murray Valley Flood Plain

Location VIC - Property No L10225 File Number L10225 Level File only

[1/1] L10225 Murray Billabong

Statement of Significance

The area represents the survival of the early Savannah woodland of the flood plain of the Murray much modified by grazing, but retaining fine examples of River Red Gums, some native grasses and herbs and excellent examples of natural billabongs rich in acquatic life. The whole flood plain (including those parts planted with exotic willows) is rich in birdlife (140 species, 55 acquatic) and is worthy of classification and preservation as a site of historic Australian landscape.
