This film explains why this unique river, travelling from the Wombat Forests near Ballarat to the Barwon River at Geelong, is in trouble.

The Moorabool’s health is suffering because of:

  • The increasing water use by Ballarat and Geelong
  • Intensive farming activities
  • The spread of weeds along the river and its tributaries
