Kauwi-marnirla Field River Conservation Park

Kauwi-marnir­la — Field Riv­er Con­ser­va­tion Park was pro­claimed in Novem­ber 2024, in the Field Riv­er catch­ment between Shei­d­ow Park and Reynel­la, adja­cent to Glen­thorne Nation­al Park – Itya­mai­it­pin­na Yarta.

The park pro­vides increased pro­tec­tions for native species and habi­tats, and an open, nat­ur­al space for the com­mu­ni­ty to enjoy. The Abo­rig­i­nal co-name, Kauwi-marnir­la trans­lates to place of ​‘two good waters’ and is pro­nounced ​‘Cowee-ma-rni-rla’.
