Bolin Bolin Billabong |
| Abstract/Description |
Bolin Bolin means “many lagoons” in our traditional language, Woi wurrung. Bolin Bolin is one of the few remaining billabongs situated within Melbourne’s urban environment. Many of the other billabongs have been used as rubbish tips or simply filled in to create building sites by the rapidly increasing European population. The seasonal wet and dry nature of the billabong has been substantially altered due to the control of the Birraung (Yarra River) flow. This in turn has impacted the variety of native vegetation found in and around the Billabong. There are still remnant Bael (River Red Gums), Muyan (Silver Wattles) and Swamp Paperbark. |
