I watch the Billabong daily and take photos of it. I also plan to visit the other Billabongs nearby and remove dumped fencing wire etc from it.

Swamp Creek had stopped running in early Dec 2012. There was one water filled Billabong left which has nearly dried up completely. There seem to be fish in it as a Black Faced Heron visits it regularly. I also saw an Echidna drinking there.
