In July 2020 Clarence Valley amateur photographer Derry Moroney used a drone to follow the water upstream from the estuary at Brooms Head to Lake Cakora in Yuraygir National Park.

He captured stunning images of arboreal-like drainage channels in Lake Cakora. ‘The tea trees along the banks colour the water running off into the lake after a big storm,’ he says, describing the patterns as ‘like a tree of life’.
