Have you ever visited a wetland in NSW and wondered about its story? Now you can learn all about these special places before you go!
The River Champions podcast, celebrates the incredible efforts behind restoring New South Wales’ waterways.
In one of three episodes, we explore the inspiring story of Whittaker’s Lagoon—a hidden oasis nestled in the cotton plains. Once a dry patch of land, the lagoon has been transformed into a thriving wetland, thanks to the dedication of the NSW Water for the Environment team and the incredible efforts of some passionate people in the local community.
“There’s something about Lagoon,” says Harry Davey from Ozfish. “It’s a tiny oasis people often overlook as they drive by at 110 kilometers an hour.”
This wetland is more than just a sanctuary for wildlife—it’s a living classroom and cultural hub. As Kerrie Saunders from -Ma Bush Tucker Tours shares, “The old people used these species for food and fibre for a very long time. You don’t need a tractor to eat healthy.”
