Dying Darling legacy for future generations


(Climate change will have many impacts and probably the most noticeable will be a shortage of water. Those living along the Darling River have watched their river dying and recently demonstrated to illustrate their concerns).

Wilcania protestors make their point
 about what they see as
the mismanagement of the Darling River.
Australia’s third longest river, the Darling River, has been suffering from low flow for many years. Wilcannia residents say the river system has been mismanaged and problems will affect future generations.

Led by the local Barkindji people, approximately 100 protestors blockaded the Barrier Highway, which crosses the river, at the weekend, to highlight their concerns
