The Cardross Lakes are an irrigation drainage basin system located approximately 15km south-west of Mildura, Victoria, Australia. The lakes are notable for being the only known occurrence within Victoria of the Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon "(Mogurnda adspersa)", discovered in 1995 [http://www.environment.gov.au/soe/2001/publications/theme-reports/water/water03-4d.html Inland Waters Theme Report] "Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts", Retrieved April 4, 2008] , believed to be extinct in Victoria since the 1930's [http://www.nativefish.asn.au/purple.html Southern Purple Spotted Gudgeon] "Native Fish Australia", Retrieved April 4, 2008] .
