🌿 Along the banks of the Darling River.
The Darling River’s woodlands are shaped by mighty River Red Gums, hardy Black Box, Coolibah and Lignum - trees that shelter and sustain the outback. In their branches you’ll spot corellas, galahs, kookaburras, pelicans and spoonbills, while wedge-tailed eagles soar overhead.
On the ground, kangaroos, emus, echidnas and goannas move quietly through the shade, and after rain, the floodplains burst into life with frogs, fish and migrating waterbirds.
These woodlands aren’t just beautiful, they’re the backbone of river country, supporting wildlife, culture and communities.
Next time you’re travelling the #DarlingRiverRun, remember to slow down, look around, and take it all in. 💚
