The Painkalac estuary and its valley are much loved by the local community as not only a beautiful natural part of our area but an important ecosystem that supports a dynamic and diverse mix of native plants, animals and micro-organisms where the freshwater of the creek meets the saline waters of the ocean. These areas are known as Salt-wedge communities, and they have now been protected by listing under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
