Winton Wetlands covering 8750 hectares very roughly half wetland and half surrounding woodlands

Winton Wetlands covering 8750 hectares very roughly half wetland and half surrounding woodlands, in process of being restored. The artificial Lake Mokoan was created in 1971, flooding natural swamps and creating water storage for irrigation but with numbers of undesirable ecological effects. The lake was drained in 2010 to become a natural wetland once more and a haven for very many birds such as the Great egret (Ardea alba) seen here. Benalla, northeastern Victoria, Australia
