Reflections of Wimmera River


Leisurely Maned wood duck in search of breakfast on this tranquil river.


The sun rises over houses on the banks of the river while a lone pelican paddles contentedly.


The low rainfall between 2006 and 2010 caused this river to dry up and activities in Horsham such as fishing, boating and rowing stopped altogether, Although the floods of 2011 wreaked havoc, the river is in the process of recovering and activities have resumed. It also has special significance for the dreamtime narratives of the traditional inhabitants of this area.


Sun sets over the river and noisy corellas begin to settle and eventually roost in surrounding red gums.
