Statement of Heritage Significance:
Architecture/Environment:
Nearie Lake Nature Reserve encompasses Lake Nearie, a small overflow lake on the Anabranch of the Darling River and is subject to flooding from the Menindee Lake storage scheme. It supports a complex patten of vegetation including natural grassland, shrub steps, red gums, mallee and acacia. Stands of Black Box occupy the drainage depressions and provide nesting sites for arboreal nesting waterfowl. The reserve provided an excellent habitat for kangaroos, including the Western Grey, the Red Kangaroo and the Wallaroo.
