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 first 9 of these were not proclaimed until had been set at 80 acres with the idea of encouraging the 1842. Prior to this the land had been sold under a system of small farmer. By the 1860s the government had accepted the preliminary districts and special surveys. reality that wheat growing - a mainstay of the economy - In the 1850’s a hierarchical system of Counties, Hundreds, required larger farms. Under the Strangways Act, 1869 land Sections, and Lots was adopted. could be bought on credit with sections of up to 320 acres replacing the old 80-acre section. Hundreds One of the tenets of the Wakefield scheme that guided the founding of the colony of South Australia in 1834, was that no land was to be given away. All land was considered to be the property of the Crown. It was either to be surveyed and sold systematically or leased for pastoral use on payment of the prescribed rental. The funds raised were to be used to pay for the passage of selected settlers, preferably farming families. There was also a clear intention that surveys should always precede sales. -
Willows, Ash, Grants and Crag Care

As you all know 2015 was the year of the Centenary, but as the year drew to a close and priorities for 2016 were set in the small lulls between major events we had the opportunity to apply for some grants to support the great work volunteers have been putting in on the ground. With the successful application for two Green Army projects, mentioned in the last newsletter, and the awarding of two new grants it is beginning to look like 2016 will be a great year of conservation action in our parks! The first grant was for $5000 to support the Crag Care project awarded to us by the Natural Resources Management Board as one of the Community NRM Action Willows treated in 2015 now quite dead Grants 2015-16. The grant will provide funds for the following items: 1. Additional training. We anticipate this year’s training will include bushcare techniques, capacity building of volunteers and leadership training for project co-ordinators which may include more advanced monitoring methods training. 2. GPS receiving device. With the mapping of willows in Morialta last year it was soon realised the personal GPS devices we were utilising were not very accurate in the gorge. -
