Planning policies have sought to maintain, protect and enhance its landscape The study area encompasses the upland character and quality. A proposal is in areas from the Fleurieu Peninsula through preparation to nominate the region for the main ranges to the Barossa Ranges in listing under the World Heritage the north and the Palmer escarpment in Convention as a cultural landscape. the north-east. South of that escarpment the boundary extends along the eastern STUDY AREA ridge of the Bremer Valley and excludes the Monarto area. It then extends along the base of the eastern ranges to near Goolwa and Port Elliot. The study area extends to the western base of the Barossa Ranges (i.e. not including the Barossa Valley), then along the western base of the Hills Face Zone fronting the northern suburbs of Elizabeth and Salisbury, Adelaide, Morphett Vale and the Willunga Plain. The McLaren Vale area to the sea is also included. The project excludes the urban areas and towns and covers the non-urban areas, however the rural living areas such as the Longwood - Scott Creek area is included. The total study area comprises around 470,000 ha (4,700 sq km). Because the coast of Fleurieu Peninsula was covered in the Coastal Viewscapes assessment of the South Australian coast (2005), further assessment of coast is excluded from this study and the results Figure 1.1 Mount Lofty Ranges Study Area of that study incorporated into this study.

Painting the landscape and the life within it had great symbolic significance and the artist was compelled to conform to traditional styles and designs that were relevant to his group. The aesthetic quality and the beauty of a painting related to how well the artist reflected the cultural style and his familiarity with design.

  • NOTES on the ORIGINS of TRAIL RUNNING SA. Part 1. The
    NOTES ON THE ORIGINS OF TRAIL RUNNING SA. Part 1. The Yurrebilla Trail. David Close " I know, the Yurrebilla Trail" said Terry Cleary with a visionary gleam in his eyes. The occasion was John Glowik's 60th birthday party in Sally Buckett's home, in mid-2007.This was the conception of The Yurrebilla Trail 56 km Ultra (YUM), and, as it turned out, the start of a revival of trail running in SA. A few minutes later, further discussion was cut short when the candles on John's birthday cake triggered the smoke alarm. Perhaps this was an omen of some sort. After this evening, Terry spent much time exploring the Yurrebilla Trail, which then was poorly marked, and making arrangements for refreshments. He told me that he was influenced by one of the most famous trail running events in Australia, the 6 Foot Track in New South Wales. On 25 November, he led 22 other runners for a long and memorable run along the whole 56 kms of the trail. Having promised his wife Gay - who organised the catering with great success - that this run was a once-off affair, he left Adelaide immediately afterwards to work in Alice Springs. Terry Cleary, with myself, Doug Smart and Ken Graham in 2012. I was at the time bird watching in Peru, but resolved after his return in December that this adventure could not be allowed to die. Up to this point, organised trail running in SA had a long history - from at least as early as the 1980s. In the 1993, Peter Allmand, formed the Off Road Division of the SA Road Runners Club (SARRC).

  • 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

Cases that both support and contradict these predictions have been observed in empirical and modelling investigations that continue to under-represent small mammal species (Introduction). Given small mammals are primary or higher order consumers and often dispersal limited, incorporating resource gradients that define the fundamental niche may be vital for generating accurate estimates of range shift. This idea was investigated through the influence of coarse to fine resolution, landscape- and quadrat-scale data on the range dynamics of four temperate- and five arid-zone small mammals.
