Mulloon Creek Natural Farms

Duralla crossing

This log sill crossing was completed only days before Mulloon Creek started to flow again earlier this year. It has since endured four major pulses. Despite much erosion upstream from the fires, water quality at this, the second lowest structure built into the creek so far, is very good. There is over 50 reconstructed ponds within Mulloon Creek above this point.

Westview Farm

Tree planting

At Westview, the results of the rehydration activities have been exceptional. In December 2018, 500 trees, shrubs and sedges were planted on the banks of the creek. Over 80% have survived the driest period since records began and are now bursting with life since the rains have come again. The leaky weirs installed at the same time have turned a churning, turbulent, torrent of a creek into a series of gently flowing ponds and spreading riffles. The landowners couldn’t be happier with the results.
