24.01.2022 Microbat Monday! I’ve found quite a few microbat roosts in snags out in the middle of the river. I believe this is a southern myotis - an apt companion as it’s a type of fishing bat which uses its large feet to trawl along the water surface and catch aquatic invertebrates and small fish. #microbatmonday #microbat #aussiewildlife #murraydarlingbasin #macquarieriver
22.01.2022 Up behind the South Dubbo Dog Park, spring has brought out a local threatened plant: the Pine Donkey Orchid. It’s nice to have some interesting ecology right in town - well worth a look while they’re in flower as they’re underground for the rest of the year.
22.01.2022 Black cypress guide style Algonquin paddle. The length and sectioned grip make it practical for sitting, kneeling or standing. It’s my newest favourite for deeper water travel. Slices like a knife! #handmade #timberpaddles #woodenpaddle #australianwoodworking #aussietimber #australianmade

20.01.2022 The sun got out this arvo after another nice bit of rain. The river is still a bit dirty but how good is it to pull fish like this! The yellowbelly will only be getting busier as water temps rise.

06.01.2022 Travelling the Golden Highway Moving up and down our inland river systems is essential for Golden Perch (aka yellowbelly), but with more than 10,000 barriers t...o fish passage across the Murray-Darling Basin in NSW, it’s often easier said than done. Our native fish experience a highway littered with permanent road blocks and speed bumps as they try to make their way along the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin. Native fish such as Golden Perch have to be able to move freely within our waterways so that they can feed, breed and find new homes. However, the most important journey the species undertakes is during spawning migrations. These extensive trips are usually taken during the spring and summer months when the water is warmer than 20C. During this time individual Golden Perch can move thousands of kilometres upstream with one fish recorded as making a massive journey from South Australia to Queensland, travelling more 2000 km in three months, a rare event only possible during extreme flood events. Female Golden Perch can lay up to 500,000 semi-buoyant eggs that hatch into 3.5 mm larvae after 1-2 days. The larvae drift downstream before being able to actively swim and find food after five days. So free passage for the Golden Perch is critical, both over small and large scales. However, with thousands of barriers to fish passage such as weirs and road crossings across the Basin, it’s more a case of road blocks than open highway for our native fish. For most Golden Perch, their only natural chance of help past these barriers is a flood that overtops the weir wall, however, large floods are becoming increasingly rare in our systems. So how can we help Golden Perch and their fishy friends travel unimpeded along their own Golden Highway? In the case of larger barriers, fishways are needed to help fish pass. These impressive pieces of infrastructure act like a ladder, helping fish move both upstream and downstream of weirs and dams through a series of pools and steps. In NSW waters, fish now have unimpeded access to more than 2000 km of waterways. More works are planned for the future to open up our waterways and create the ultimate fish freeway.
