Information sheets

In 2004, Water Walks were built at Rocky Creek and Emigrant Creek dams - the main water sources of Rous County Council.

They are short walking tracks dotted with a series of signs that tell a story about the water cycle and our place in it. It is an ongoing partnership between Widjabul Elders and Rous County Council.
