<p>Cobdogla Swamp, near Barmera, was created in 1925, when Lock 3 was built on the River Murray near Overland Corner.  The consequent flooding created Cobdogla Swamp and other billabongs.  Many gum trees drowned as a consequence.  In the 1950s Cobdogla Swamp had good duck-breeding seasons, large numbers of Murray Cod, dense water plants and large colonies of water birds.
