In time, additional information will be added to this site to inform those of you who are interested in restoring some flow to the Lower Loddon River in North Central Victoria.

The Lower Loddon is defined by this site as the section of river between the Fernihurst weir and Kerang in Northern Victoria..

Decisions to cut off this section of river from flow and divert all water down the irrigation channels have been made by the water authority, and seem to be in conflict with the Native fish strategy as issued by the MDB.

A quick photographic survey of the river was undertaken in july 2010 just to start this conversation.

What is not clear is why no water flows down the Loddon river , and asks a question of the authorities that allowed it to happen.

What precedence does the abandonment of the Lower loddon set for the rest of the rivers that once thrived and contained different species of animals and fish.

Minister looks after the Loddon

Keen fisho and mate Robbie Alexander wrote to the Minister querying the state of the lower Loddon and recently received this reply,

Good on ya Robbie, now to let the water authorities know so they don't turn off the tap again.
