Ramsar Wetlands on other tenures include Fivebough and Tuckerbil Swamps (Crown land), Gwydir Wetlands (freehold land - Crinolyn, Windella and Godddard's Lease components), Hunter Estuary Wetlands (Hunter Wetlands Centre Australia component), Macquarie Marshes (Wilgara and U-block components), and NSW Central Murray State Forests (Koondrook Forests component). |

Lineage |
The data has been created from a combination of cadastral information (freehold property, Crown land, TSRs and national parks/nature reserves) and SPOT 5 imagery in a few instances where the Ramsar boundary does not follow cadastral boundaries (e.g. for part of Fivebough - Tuckerbil site), with detailed ground surveying to confirm boundary of part of Gwydir Wetlands site (i.e. Goddard's Lease component), and the Hunter Wetlands Centre component of the Hunter Estuary Wetlands site. |
