Budj Bim Connections

The Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape is a section of volcanic plain that encompasses the area from Mt Eccles to the sea. The basalt lava flow created a series of wetlands and rivers including Lake Condah, Darlot Creek and Fitzroy River and estuary.

In 2010, Lake Condah was restored and the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners are now focusing on protecting and restoring other waterways in the landscape.

This Flagship Waterway project supports the implementation of priority on-ground projects identified in the Fitzroy Estuary and Darlot Creek WAP and the  Budj Bim Landscape program.
