Other useful Information

We hope you will find the information here useful for school projects, planning your career, or just for interest.

This page offers links to many sources of information on the environment including biodiversity, native vegetation, salinity, soil degradation and so on.

We also encourage visitors and students to browse through our own Lower Murray Darling web site particularly as the site is constantly updated with new localised natural resource management information.
