Thurrawal

Thurrawal lies on the inland plains near Ungarie, west of the wetlands of the Lachlan River. Lake Cowal fills intermittently from Bland Creek and floodwaters of the Lachlan, attracting large numbers of waterbirds when it holds water. The Cowal wetlands are important cultural and spiritual country for Wiradjuri people. In drier periods the shallow lake contracts, exposing ground and trees within its broad basin.
