Meningie is a small country town with a fascinating environmental history. It sits on the shores of a very large inland lake that has been the food source and mainstay of both indigenous and early settler communities.
The lake was degraded due to over fishing and losing water flows due to irrigation commitments to other areas. This was the local communities call to action and an example of how history and heritage can work together for the common good as the water levels have been restored and the lake seem to be in excellent health.
