Landcare - Warburton Project > Stage 2, Revegetation results

Picture 1. An aerial view of the ponding banks constructed in stage I, after re-seeding in stage II (February 92). Note how the vegetation is accumulating in the ponding banks where the storm water is collecting. The ponding banks have also assisted other areas to pond water and they are revegetating as well.

Picture 2. An aerial view of the results of stage I and II, eighteen months after the beginning of the project. Although bare areas are apparent in the foreground, the overall results have been gratifying. Local flooding from storm water has been arrested and a sustainable revegetation program has been established.

Picture 3. Perennial shrubs, including colony wattle (acacia murrayana) in the foreground are well established along the diversion bank, four and a half years after the beginning of the project.

Picture 4. Longer term perennials like mulga (acacia aneura) shown in this photograph have become well established along the diversion bank four and a half years after the beginning of the project.

Picture 5. View of the mulga (acacia aneura) shown in an earlier photograph growing on the old airstrip four and a half years after the beginning of the project.
