Maccas in the Georges River

The Upper Georges River © Georges Riverkeeper

For the first time in many years there is evidence Macquarie Perch are present in the Georges River near Sydney in NSW.

Traces of Macquarie perch DNA have been found in water samples collected from various locations along the river. This fish requires a very specific habitat - fast-flowing, rocky water with shady trees and bushes along the banks.

This habitat can be found in the Georges and importantly, there are no redfin perch here.
