Broken Hill Complex Broken Hill Complex Bioregion resources Photo Mulyangarie, DEH Broken Hill Complex The Broken Hill Complex bioregion is located in western New South Wales and eastern South Australia, spanning the NSW-SA border. It includes all of the Barrier Ranges and covers a huge area of nearly 5.7 million hectares with approximately 33% falling in South Australia! It has an arid climate with dry hot summers and mild winters. The average rainfall is 222mm per year, with slightly more rainfall occurring in summer. The bioregion is rich with Aboriginal cultural history, with numerous archaeological sites of significance. Biodiversity and habitat The bioregion consists of low ranges, and gently rounded hills and depressions. The main vegetation types are chenopod and samphire shrublands; casuarina forests and woodlands and acacia shrublands. Threatened animal species include the Yellow-footed Rock- wallaby and Australian Bustard. Grazing, mining and wood collection for over 100 years has led to a decline in understory plant species and cover, affecting ground nesting birds and ground feeding insectivores. 2 | Broken Hill Complex Photo by Francisco Facelli Broken Hill Complex Threats Threats to the Broken Hill Complex bioregion and its dependent species include: For Further information • erosion and degradation caused by overgrazing by sheep, To get involved or for more information please cattle, goats, rabbits and macropods phone your nearest Natural Resources Centre or • competition and predation by feral animals such as rabbits, visit www.naturalresources.sa.gov.au or pigs, goats, foxes and cats www.environment.sa.gov.au • invasion by salt-tolerant weed species.

The Broken Hill Complex bioregion contains part of the Medindee Lakes system in New South Wales, which is managed for water storage for supply to South Australia. FIS93303 Central Ranges Bioregion resources Photo DEH Central Ranges The Central Ranges bioregion surrounds the borders of Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia. Only 28% of the bioregion is in South Australia. It has hot summers and temperatures can reach 50°C and above. Winters are cool to cold with the temperature sometimes as low as 6°C. The average yearly rainfall is 177mm and most of the rain in the bioregion falls in the winter. The bioregion is all Aboriginal land and there are many small Aboriginal communities in this area. Warburton is the main town and is the regional centre of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. Biodiversity and habitat Much of the bioregion is remote, outback country. It has rugged ranges mainly running from east to west, and red sand plains. The main vegetation is low open woodlands of desert oak or mulga over spinifex grassland. There are more bushfires in the region after good rainfall years when the amount of fuel has increased. Therefore, controlled burning needs to be done after wet winters. Threatened animals include the Southern Marsupial Mole, Black-footed Rock-wallaby, Mulgara, Great Desert Skink, Malleefowl, Striated Grasswren, Australian Bustard and the Mount Illbilie Mintbush. 2 | Central Ranges Photo by Tony Robinson Central Ranges Threats Threats to the Central Ranges and its dependent species include: For Further information • pest animal species such as rabbits, foxes, donkeys, camels To get involved or for more information please and feral horses phone your nearest Natural Resources Centre or • weeds such as Athel Pine and Buffel Grass. visit www.naturalresources.sa.gov.au or www.environment.sa.gov.au Conservation In 2004, more than 15% of the area was within protected areas Natural Resources Centres and only 4% is commercially grazed on a long term basis.

FIS93303 Channel Country Bioregion resources Photo by Tony Robinson Channel Country The Channel Country bioregion covers 51,745 square km of South Australia and includes parts of Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales. In South Australia, the bioregion includes Coongie Lakes and the Cooper Creek Floodplains as well as the Innamincka area and Innamincka Regional Reserve. The Bioregion has an arid climate – this means that the summers are very hot and dry and the winters are short and dry. Rainfall is very unpredictable and in some years it hardly rains at all – but on average the bioregion receives about 150 to 250mm of rain per year. Rainfall is more likely during the summer months. The land is mainly used for cattle grazing, mining and conservation purposes. It is also popular as a tourism destination. Biodiversity and habitat The region supports hummock and tussock grasslands and areas containing chenopod and samphire shrubland. There are some small areas of acacia shrublands, acacia open woodlands and eucalypt woodlands. The bioregion has very large flood plains with water channels crossing the land. This water originates in outback Queensland and flows south and southwest through the Georgina/Diamantina and Cooper Creek Basins eventually into Lake Eyre. Loose rock fragments known as ‘gibber’ are also found on the plains. The gibber, although it looks very barren, holds many biodiversity secrets, including the Kowari. 2 | Channel Country Several species are endemic to the bioregion. These include the Grey Grasswren, the Cooper Creek Tortoise, two species of skink, For Further information the Elizabeth Springs Goby Fish and an unidentified blind snake.

The Lake Eyre Drainage Division is considered one of the world’s last unregulated wild river systems. Conservation Conservation areas in the Channel Country bioregion include Innamincka Regional Reserve, Coongie Lakes National Park and Sturt National Park (New South Wales). The Coongie Lakes are also listed as a Wetland of International Importance under an international treaty called the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. This area supports an incredible range of water dependent wildlife including native birds, fish, reptiles and frogs. You can help conserve the Channel Country bioregion and its dependent species by:

  • 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.

  • Phylogenetic Structure of Vertebrate Communities Across the Australian
    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2013) 40, 1059–1070 ORIGINAL Phylogenetic structure of vertebrate ARTICLE communities across the Australian arid zone Hayley C. Lanier*, Danielle L. Edwards and L. Lacey Knowles Department of Ecology and Evolutionary ABSTRACT Biology, Museum of Zoology, University of Aim To understand the relative importance of ecological and historical factors Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1079, USA in structuring terrestrial vertebrate assemblages across the Australian arid zone, and to contrast patterns of community phylogenetic structure at a continental scale. Location Australia. Methods We present evidence from six lineages of terrestrial vertebrates (five lizard clades and one clade of marsupial mice) that have diversified in arid and semi-arid Australia across 37 biogeographical regions. Measures of within-line- age community phylogenetic structure and species turnover were computed to examine how patterns differ across the continent and between taxonomic groups. These results were examined in relation to climatic and historical fac- tors, which are thought to play a role in community phylogenetic structure. Analyses using a novel sliding-window approach confirm the generality of pro- cesses structuring the assemblages of the Australian arid zone at different spa- tial scales. Results Phylogenetic structure differed greatly across taxonomic groups. Although these lineages have radiated within the same biome – the Australian arid zone – they exhibit markedly different community structure at the regio- nal and local levels. Neither current climatic factors nor historical habitat sta- bility resulted in a uniform response across communities. Rather, historical and biogeographical aspects of community composition (i.e. local lineage per- sistence and diversification histories) appeared to be more important in explaining the variation in phylogenetic structure.
