BENDIGO-BASED DJAARA has started an eco-hydrological investigation at Thunder Swamp.
DJAARA said this week its project would build on work with the Victorian Environmental Water Holder, identifying key locations where DJAARA can lead the management and delivery of environmental water. 
“Thunder Swamp was selected as a priority site for investigation and restoration, with DJAARA taking a leadership role in caring for this part of Djandak,” the corporation said.
“This swamp is part of the Kamarooka Wetland Complex, a broader network of interconnected wetlands that includes Tang Tang Swamp, a well-known and important site for many Dja Dja Wurrung Families.
“The investigation is being carried out in partnership with Nature Glenelg Trust, wetland restoration experts known for their deep historical landscape knowledge and scientific assessments.
“Nature Glenelg Trust brings experience working with landholders, government agencies, NGOs, and environmental groups to collaboratively develop restoration plans that are grounded in both science and community knowledge.”
According to DJAARA: “Our involvement in water management enables us to live our Culture and share our knowledge to help heal our water systems for the benefit of all.”
