Details: Breeding ground for birds and fish. - Although Western Australia looks on the black swan as its own, these elegant birds were once so commonplace on Lake Macquarie (NSW) that they were fed to the pigs. The deed was not so debased as it seems, however. It was when the electric power lines were being put through the lake town of Dora Creek and the usual large flocks of swans were congregating in the nearby two-lakes-within-a-lake, Lake Eraring and Muddy Lake. Flying from one stretch of water to the other the birds invariably hit the wires on the land strip between. Their outstretched wings made contact between the live wires and they fell dead to the ground. To save the dead birds becoming a public nuisance, residents dragged the bodies home in hundreds, and boiled them down for pig food. To stop the mass suicides the authorities had the wires strung a greater distance apart.
