Cooks River Exhibition promotion

From its source at Yagoona to its mouth at Botany Bay the Cooks River passes through
Wangal, Gadigal and Gameygal lands. It provides an important biodiversity corridor of
vegetated habitat in parks, reserves and gardens adjacent to the river. Over the years Cooks
River has been fished, dammed, concreted, diverted and polluted – and rehabilitated.
Strathfield Council is custodian of the Cooks River as it meanders through its LGA and
partners with other organisations to improve both the health of the river and the liveability
of the communities within its catchment.

This exhibition will take you on a journey through the river’s rich history culminating in
recent projects and initiatives that protect and conserve the river and its biodiversity.
How can you contribute to its future?
