Good Afternoon Everyone
For those who don’t know who Australian Wildlife Conservancy are, there is a program on Sunday Night which will highlight Kalamurina station which is AWC’s largest property and borders Lake Eyre North and is 660,000 hectares I have enclosed an email that I have received from Atticus Fleming who is the CEO of AWC, as I am a supporter of AWC and it is dear to my heart. It is also a place that I am hoping to visit in the upcoming weeks and photograph some of the endemic birds of this region.
Kindest Regards

I am pleased to advise that Australian Wildlife Conservancy and our conservation programs at Kalamurina, adjacent to Lake Eyre, will be featured on prime time television this weekend. Mike Munro is the presenter for a segment on Sunday Night, a current affairs program which screens on Channel 7 at 6:30pm on Sunday evening.

Kalamurina is AWC’s largest sanctuary, covering more than 660,000 hectares including the north shore of Lake Eyre and the last 100 kilometres of the Warburton River. The images on Sunday Night showcase beautifully the Warburton River in flood, meandering between the Simpson and Tirari Deserts before pouring into Lake Eyre through the Warburton Groove, a channel that extends deep into the Lake. This year the Lake reached its highest level in 40 years.
These floodwaters, together with above average local rain, have delivered a stunning ecological boom for Kalamurina and the Lake Eyre region, with thousands of waterbirds and a dramatic increase in small mammal populations. The Channel 7 story will focus on this boom and the urgent need to implement active land management (feral animal control etc) if we are to sustain the ecological benefits of the boom and protect wildlife in a region that, for the last century, has been a global epicentre for mammal extinctions
