Eucumbene Stocky Galaxid Release Day

Antia netting for bugs at Eucumbene Borrows.

In May, we were lucky enough to be invited to assist with Waterbug surveys at Eucumbene Borrows, a release site for the Stocky Galaxid. The Borrows are a series of artificial ponds connected by and artificial creek, which was created as habitat for the critically endangered Stocky Galaxid. It was a fantastic day, and included representatives from NSW Fisheries, NSW National Parks and Charles Sturt University, who have managed the project. Over 400 Stocky Galaxid were released into the habitat, which will help shore up populations of the rare small-bodied fish for the future. Thanks to Antia at Cooma Waterwatch for inviting us to the Eucumbene Stocky Galaxid Release Day.

 
 
 

Acknowledgement of Country

The Molonglo catchment, crossing the NSW/ACT border, overlaps with a mix of traditional Aboriginal cultural boundaries and lines of connection, and statutory Aboriginal Land Council boundaries. The history of Aboriginal people is a living history and, in the present day, the NSW region is defined by Ngunawal traditional boundaries (spelt Ngunnawal by some clan groups and the ACT Government), traditional boundaries of the Gundungurra, Dharawal, Yuin, Ngarigo Aboriginal communities and the statutory boundaries of the Ngambri Aboriginal Land Council. In the ACT there are currently four Representative Aboriginal Organisations – Buru Ngunawal Aboriginal Corporation, Mirrabee, King Brown Tribal Group, and Ngarigo Currawong Clan. We acknowledge all Aboriginal custodians of this region. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life that is within and around the Molonglo catchment.
