The Australian Inland Botanic Gardens (AIBG) are in Mourquong, far west NSW. The two targeted wetlands are approximately one hectare in size and are carp free to provide predator free environment for translocated Murray hardyhead populations.

EWT was first delivered in 2023-24 and will be ongoing to safeguard the critically endangered fish. This is an ongoing collaboration between NSW DPI Fisheries, AIBG and MDWWG.

Visitors of the AIBG are encouraged to explore and learn about the wetlands with informative signage, maps and walking tracks. The AIBG is also run by a team of volunteers who help manage the wetland.
