The Refreshing Rivers project has started off works to restore the banks of Morleys Creek which is in the heart of Gundagai. The project is a partnership with Brungle Tumut Local Aboriginal Land Council and Cootamundra Gundagai Regional Council.

Morleys Creek is an important waterway for the township and for traditional owners. It provides a number of benefits including recreational fishing, ecotourism, cultural heritage and livestock water. The Creek also provides habitat for a number of species including platypus, rakali (water rat) and native fish including flathead gudgeon and western carp gudgeon.

Together, we're:

- removing invasive species

- stabilising creek banks

- planting native vegetation

- undertaking water quality assessments

- assessing biodiversity using eDNA

- supporting cultural and ecological restoration
