Power and passion for the Agnes River

It’s all about the power and the passion on this episode of the podcast as we chat with some of the inspiring people involved in a twenty-year partnership project to restore the entire length of the Agnes River and protect the world-renowned Corner Inlet.

Guests:

• Tanya Cowell, Waterways Project Officer at West Gippsland CMA
• Richard (Richie) Allen, Project Delivery Officer at West Gippsland CMA
• Bryan Watterson, local landholder and member of Corner Inlet Landcare
• Host: Sally O’Neil, West Gippsland CMA

• Agnes River is on Gunaikurnai Country and begins in the Strzelecki Ranges, meandering its way into Corner Inlet near the town of Toora. It is well known for the Agnes Falls where the river cascades into a spectacular 59m drop into a deep picturesque gorge.

In 2023, the CMA removed the last remaining stand of willow trees on the Agnes – a special milestone for the CMA and the community members involved in this project.
