Trees at Wonga Wetlands : dry arrangements

... and not all trees are alive and well ...
When we visited the Wonga Wetlands, Albury, NSW, we chose to wander along the 2.5 km ‘Red Trail’. We were thrilled at what there was to discover. A variety of birds inhabit the lagoons and magnificent trees grow in, and out, of the water.
Some of the dead trees are eye catching, others tickle the imagination.
The Wonga Wetlands are near Albury, NSW, Australia, along the floodplain of the Murray River. It is an ecosystem of lagoons and billabongs and is home to a wide variety of wildlife and ancient river red gums. The Albury City’s plan to redevelop the Wonga Wetlands has resulted in many birds and other wildlife returning to the area. Some of the wetlands are natural but it is predominately man made. For many years this land has been used for grazing but the lagoons are being restored from Albury City’s wastewater treatment facility.

Photographers and artists alike are inspired by this tree.
