Wetland inventory report Executive Summary The Wetland Inventory for the Mount Lofty Ranges documents a representative sample of inland wetlands by recording their physical, chemical and biological attributes. Eighty-five wetlands were surveyed and included brackish water bodies, freshwater wetlands, bogs and constructed wetlands. The aquatic invertebrate fauna generally displayed good diversity and abundance in many of the wetlands surveyed. Fourteen wetlands recorded good invertebrate trophic levels and included Woorabinda Lake at Stirling, Mount George Wetlands at Bridgewater and Onkaparinga Estuary. Fourteen wetlands surveyed are considered to be nationally important by meeting the ANZECC criteria of being a good example of a wetland type occurring within a biogeographic region in Australia. These wetlands include Englebrook Reserve at Bridgewater, and the bogs within Cleland Conservation Park. Four wetlands are recommended for monitoring; these are Parafield Wetlands, Englebrook Reserve, Washpool Lagoon and Eurilla Bog. 3 Wetland inventory report SECTION ONE WETLAND INVENTORY

  • South Australia's National Parks Guide
    SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL PARKS GUIDE Explore some of South Australia’s most inspirational places INTRODUCTION Generations of South Australians and visitors to our State cherish memories of our national parks. From camping with family and friends in the iconic Flinders Ranges, picnicking at popular Adelaide parks such as Belair National Park or fishing and swimming along our long and winding coast, there are countless opportunities to connect with nature and discover landscapes of both natural and cultural significance. South Australia’s parks make an important contribution to the economic development of the State through nature- based tourism, recreation and biodiversity. They also contribute to the healthy lifestyles we as a community enjoy and they are cornerstones of our efforts to conserve South Australia’s native plants and animals. In recognition of the importance of our parks, the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is enhancing experiences for visitors, such as improving park infrastructure and providing opportunities for volunteers to contribute to conservation efforts. It is important that we all continue to celebrate South Australia’s parks and recognise the contribution that people make to conservation. Helping achieve that vision is the fun part – all you need to do is visit a park and take advantage of all it has to offer. Hon lan Hunter MLC Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation CONTENTS GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PARKS VISITORS ................11 Park categories.......................................................................11
