    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.

    The Link Volunteer Newsletter Issue 76 VOLUNTEER SUPPORT UNIT VSU WELCOMES JOHN ADAMS Hi My name is John Adams and I am currently working in the Volunteer Support Unit at Keswick. I am a graduate ranger and am currently nine months into my two year rotational placement. My first placement had me based in Mount Gambier, were I worked on various projects from the Grassy Woodland rehabilitation at Sand Cave, to restoring habitat for the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. During these projects I worked with numerous volunteers groups, from international volunteers to local Friends of Parks groups. From these experiences I quickly understood the vast amount of work that volunteers undertake in our Parks and surrounds, and how important they are in conservation works. I grew up in Adelaide, and from an early age loved the coastal environment, and was often at the beach either swimming, snorkelling or admiring the unique coastal vegetation. Since then, I completed my degree in Environmental Policy and Management at Adelaide University. From there I have worked at State Flora Nursery and a revegetation consultancy, where I was actively involved in plant propagation and bushland restoration works. During these jobs I developed a keen interest in the unique vegetation of South Australia, and enjoyed discovering rare plants. I enjoy the outdoors and like going camping, and bushwalking through the many trails around the Adelaide Hills and when I’m not outside you will usually find me watching movies. Working as a graduate ranger has allowed me to work in some of the most rugged, beautiful and threatened environments in SA, and I am passionate about preserving these habitats for future generations to enjoy.

    Bush Babbler Volunteer E-news Edition 5 | 27 July 2020 Hello! The ‘Bush Babbler’ is the Volunteer Programs electronic newsletter. Aiming to bring some light-hearted banter and joy to you all during these challenging COVID- 19 times. Winter has settled in and it seems COVID-19 is going to stick around for a while too. Our team would just like to take a moment and thank our volunteers for their cooperation in continuing to take appropriate safety measures to keep our community as safe as possible- we know it’s been difficult! It’s also really important that we continue to apply these safety measures, especially as we start to socialise again and get back to our activities. So please ensure you get tested if you have symptoms (even if mild), practise good hygiene, download the COVIDSafe app, and keep 1.5 metres distance from others wherever, whenever possible. Whale watching, fungi, orchids, school holidays, rain and of course flowing waterfalls are just a few things that Winter brings. In this edition, learn about our gentle giants of the sea, the various types of fungi you might see in our parks, tips to avoid a wildlife strike in your travels and much more… By the way, we’re loving all the photos coming in and seeing all the interesting things you’re finding! Please continue to share your photos or #Hashtag us on Facebook, so we can promote and share your amazing work - Gill, Ian, Amanda, Amy, Carly, Pam and Edi. Volunteer Programs Update Update to public health restrictions and volunteering With the recent easing of some of the COVID-19 restrictions in SA, this has enabled more volunteer activities to recommence, or made it easier to manage the onsite requirements.
