Just a Twinkle in Their Eyes @ Banarway Weir

0.0 x 0.0

[EcoArt]. Oil on Canvas - (W) 220 cm (H) 180 cm. December 2002, heavy rainfall filled the long dry river bed of the Mooni, eventually flushing its rank contents into the Barwon River. Deoxygenated ‘Black Water’ killed aquatic life as it moved downstream to Banarway Weir. The native Murray Cod and Yellow Belly, adults (10 -30 kg) in full breeding age & long breeding potential, were the worst hit. This Fishkill was a 'Cry for Help', largely the result of local floodplain development and river over regulation.
