Gawler Ranges National Park Management Plan Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan 4.76 cm 4.76 cm Gawler Ranges National Park 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 11 January 2006 and was prepared pursuant to section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921018 11 9 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bernd Stoecker FRPS and reproduced with his permission This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Gawler Ranges National Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Gawler Ranges National Park conserves approximately 1,660 square kilometres of ancient volcanic hills and valleys of the Southern Gawler Ranges, and an abundance of native flora and fauna, including several species of conservation significance at state or national levels. The park conserves key fauna habitat areas, including mallee, chenopod shrublands, semi-arid rangelands and rugged hills. Gawler Ranges National Park was proclaimed on 15 January 2002, and is located centrally on South Australia’s far northern Eyre Peninsula. With the adjoining Pinkawillinie Conservation Park, Gawler Ranges National Park protects around 3,000 square kilometres of contiguous native vegetation and helps to link the vast mallee wilderness of the Yellabinna Region with numerous remnant patches that extend across the northern Eyre Peninsula. The park contains evidence of long human occupation, both indigenous and, more recently, post-colonial exploration, pastoral and agricultural use. There are eight sites of Aboriginal Heritage, recorded in the Central Archive, within the park. There are also remnants of the land’s previous pastoral use, including Old Paney Homestead, Pondanna Outstation and several graves of early pastoralists. The plan defines a series of objectives and strategies for the future management and use of this significant reserve and facilitates the development and implementation of high quality conservation programs and visitor facility improvements. Many people have contributed to the development of this plan of management. Their interest and helpful suggestions are gratefully acknowledged. I now formally adopt the plan of management for Gawler Ranges National Park under the provisions of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. I encourage you to read the plan and visit and enjoy this exceptional park.

National Park is located centrally on far northern Eyre Peninsula, approximately 600 kilometres north-west of Adelaide by road. It is approximately 40 kilometres north of Wudinna via Barns Road at Pygery, 35 kilometres north of Minnipa via the Yardea Road, and 90 kilometres west of Kimba via Buckleboo. The park was proclaimed on 15 January 2002 and at 166,150 hectares consists of the following land parcels: Parcel Plan Area (ha) A3 D56946 16,844.10 B1231 Out of Hundreds (Yardea) 29,690.44 A501 D59476 117,013.85 A500 D59476 2,601.57 Broadly, the environment consists of ancient volcanic hills and valleys of the southern Gawler Ranges, which also extend about 50 kilometres north, east and west of the park. Bluebush­ covered flats and foot-slopes of the ranges give way to mallee-covered dunefields in the south of the park. With the adjoining Pinkawillinie Conservation Park, the park helps to link the vast mallee wilderness of the Yellabinna Region with numerous remnant patches that extend across northern Eyre Peninsula. The weathered, rocky range is immensely old. Peaks range from approximately 60 metres above sea level in the

I was born at Tumby Bay on Spencer Gulf in November 1940, the daughter of John Roe, farmer, and Edna Ivy, nee Heath, nurse and housewife. I left Eyre Peninsula in early 1955 for further schooling in Adelaide. Current wisdom has it that mothers are the most important factor in shaping girls’ ambitions. This is dubious historically and, in my case, perforce untrue. My mother died on 13 January 1942 in a private hospital in Adelaide after a long illness when I was fourteen months old. She died, in the words of the death certificate, of ‘pulmonary tuberculosis, some months’, or, as her sister said grimly, of washing too many sheets. In today’s terms, it was a preventable death. Had the necessary antibiotics been available, she may have recovered, despite four pregnancies in seven years and vulnerability to tuberculosis, which had already carried off one of her sisters.

  • Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association Immediately Started the Lobbying Process for Upgrades to Roads Across the Region to Deal with the Increased Road Activity
    Mission Statement As an elected level of government, the Wudinna District Council will provide leadership, representation and advocacy for its community. It will be accessible and work with the community to identify and provide for its needs efficiently and meet its aspirations. The Council will operate with integrity and be open and accountable to the community in all of its activities. Mayor’s Message Mayor Eleanor Scholz How quickly another year has gone by! We had the Council Elections last November. A big thank you to Tony Griffin for his contribution to Council over the past 5 and a half years. With Tony leaving we then welcomed Liz Habermann as our new Councillor and begun our next four-year term. We were soon into another busy year. It was with great pleasure that we saw the final section of the Kyancutta- Mt Wedge Road sealed. A big project between the two Councils, assisted with the Commonwealth’s Special Roads Funding. We celebrated with an Opening by Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey and the Works Teams from both Elliston and Wudinna Councils. Thanks to our local Works Team for their efforts and for keeping up with our local road works program as well. With 2018-19 being a drier season, we soon saw paddocks drifting over local roads, a reminder of just how fragile our land is. Our Council along with others from across Eyre Peninsula and drier sections of the State were invited to attend a session with the Commonwealth Drought Commissioner, as a result we were included in the Drought Funding Project for Councils with a 6- month timeframe to spend the funds.
