Mungerannie Wetlands 2
Taken early in the morning.
Mungerannie is just 50km short of being half way along the Birdsville Track.
Mungerannie wetland is an important watering point and refuge area for birds, and stock, especially during times of drought and provides a habitat for 147 species of birds.
The wetland is home to several uncommon wading birds, some of which migrate to Australia from northern Asia during the winter months. Other birds which spend the summer months in South Eastern S.A. spend the winter months in the area. Several species , such as the Brolga, are dependent on the region's bore drain wetlands.
With the replacement of open bore drains with closed systems, bore drain wetlands such as the Mungerannie wetland are being evaluated to determine their importance. Those of high importance will be maintained by an allocation of flow and managed by the local community.
