She said Balranald was a great example of how tourism can be used to educate people about conservation.
“Balranald is not just the gateway to Mungo National Park but an attraction in its own right through the hard work of those who have recognised the value of the southern bell frog to the tourism industry.”

 Grim outlook for Balranald. 14 April 2004. Mildura News
Areas around Balranald near the NSW/Victoria border have officially slipped back into drought.
Farmer Peter Conlon says it has been more than 10 years since the last good season in the region and with little or no rain since the start of the year the outlook is again grim.
"We've only had something like 6 mls of rain in Balranald for this year so it's getting towards one of the lowest on record for this sort of period and its probably worse than it has been for a fair number of years now," he said.
