Waiting at the end of the weir
Thousands of fish are lined up and waiting for the imminent removal of the lock gates on Mildura weir.
Getting their Christmas present of free passage early this year are hundreds of 20 to 40cm golden and silver perch, many 1m long Murray cod, and thousands of smelt and young of the year golden perch.
Fish passage will be permanently improved at this site with the construction of a fishway as part of the Sea to Lake Hume project
