Background
Waterworks Regional Park is a significant cultural heritage site as it has been identified as a potential point of crossing the Murray River for the Indigenous groups who used this region. This is due to how the river widens producing large sand banks which can be seen when the river level is low.
While there are plenty of eucalypts trees in Waterworks Regional Park, very few are large enough to support hollows. For this reason, in 2022 Parklands Albury Wodonga installed several nest boxes for the threatened Squirrel Glider. These boxes are checked twice throughout the year to monitor presence and number of Squirrel Gliders in the area.
