[EcoArt] Oil on Canvas - (W) 120 cm (H) 150 cm December 2004, Flooding of the Gwydir River, enticed thousands of Ibis to the Gwydir Wetlands. Ibis had not bred in there since 1999. An environmental release of between 200-400 Mega Litres (ML) per day was required to sustain this Ibis breeding. Those in charge, initially released only 75 ML for the Ibis. The water came `Too Little, Too Late for the Gingham’ and as a result the Ibis abandoned their nests and the 8000 odd chicks to predators.
