Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. Celebrating our 21-year Journey
Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. Celebrating our 21-year Journey - History Book
The story of Fitzroy Basin Association Inc. (FBA) is as interesting as the Fitzroy river system itself. There have been occasions where the organisation has meandered all over the landscape, many times been an ephemeral state yet always returning to flood due to the hard work and passion of the staff and community. This history book 'Celebrating our 21-year journey' encapsulates the aim of FBA since inception and illustrates our beautiful landscape for all to see.

Wetland case study
Fitzroy coastal floodplain case study
This case study was created by the Department of Environment and Resource Management Aquatic Ecosystem Health Science Integration and Capacity Building Team as part of the Queensland Wetlands Program. The purpose of this conceptual modelling case study is to synthesise and present information on the values of the Fitzroy estuarine floodplain wetland pools. In particular, the study examines how physical and biological connectivity across the Fitzroy delta landscape drives the ecological functioning of the wetland pools.
