Our catchment focus

The TRaCK program encompasses the region between the tip of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland and Broome in Western Australia. The region comprises 55 catchments as defined by Geoscience Australia.

While studying the whole region in detail would be ideal, it is not feasible. TRaCK consulted communities and interest groups in the north to decide upon a set of relevant focus catchments. These four catchments are the Fitzroy in Western Australia, the Daly in the Northern Territory, and the Mitchell and Flinders catchments in Queensland. The majority of our field-based research is occurring in these catchments. We also have a number of projects operating across the entire northern Australia, tropical rivers area.
