Abstract
Inspired by the success of restoration efforts in the adjacent Piccaninnie Ponds Karst Wetlands Ramsar site, the local community was anxious for progress to address observed changes to the hydrology of Long Swamp, near Nelson, Victoria. Uncertainty about the original character and condition of the wetland system required deep exploration of a vast range of historical reference material. This is a story of how disparate sources of historical information can complement modern scientific methods, help resolve contentious issues and contribute to refining reference ecosystem models to improve restoration outcomes.Long Swamp from Oxbow Lake (A) to Lake Momboeng (B), showing the Glenelg River Mouth (1) and ocean outlet locations at White Sands (2) and Nobles Rocks (3). The hypothesised original main direction of surface flows was from east to west (from B to A). N = north.image
