This report documents the findings from a five day field trip to Violetvale Station in the Normanby drainage basin of eastern Cape York. In anticipation of large scale fencing-off of wetlands, the main focus of this study was to document aquatic biodiversity, primarily fishes; and to a lesser extent crustaceans, aquatic reptiles and waterbirds.
This field guide is the culmination of a large amount of practical gully rehabilitation work undertaken over the last seven years by Cape York NRM in collaboration with Griffith University.
