The Elingamite-Cobrico group was formed in July 22, 1991, encouraged by Nabil Badawy, a soil scientist who was investigating a salinity problem in the area.

Now, over twenty years later, the local landscape has changed dramatically, although the original vision of shelter for every paddock and a Lake Elingamite to Lake Cobrico native vegetation corridor has not been totally achieved.

On the other hand, we have spread our wings to encompass a “Rail Trail to Mt Emu Creek” perspective.

Education and awareness is possibly our greatest achievement. The Landcare tentacle has spread well beyond the original membership—we are happy that our efforts have been noticed and the principles of Landcare widely accepted.

The Angling Club at Lake Elingamite is our gathering place, with a February barbecue being a regular event.

Membership is $10 per year, per property/family. New members are always welcome.
