Willows, Ash, Grants and Crag Care 88 Addison Ave Athelstone 5076 Number 150 Apr-May-Jun 2016 In this Edition: New plant in Morialta Willows, Ash, Grants and Crag Care Friends Forum President’s Update New Members Leadership in Conservation, and Volunteers of the Parks Audited financial statements Awards Diary Dates Willows, Ash, Grants and Crag Care Things have been moving at a great pace in Morialta recently. 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. Volunteers have been using the mobile phone application ZamiaDroid to record the GPS location and other data with great effect, but the phone's GPS capabilities have been rather poor, so a GPS receiving device with both GPS and GLONASS capability has been ordered Willows treated February 2016, now and we await its arrival with great anticipation. well on their way out Friends of Black Hill and Morialta Inc. Number 150 Apr – May - Jun 2016 Page 1 3. Willow Control. There are many large willows in the Crag Care project site along Fourth Creek, below the climbing cliffs. These have been marked as a high priority for treatment, as willows have many negative stream impacts and reproduce readily. We are very pleased to announce that with the work already done by volunteers, and with the further work being done by contractors who are employed to reach the more difficult locations, willows should be eliminated from the Crag Care project site this year. 4. Control of other bushland weeds. The remainder of the money will be spent in spring employing contractors to perform specialised control techniques in sensitive areas. The second grant for $5000 was for Willow and Ash control in Morialta Conservation Park as part of the DEWNR on-park ‘Volunteer Support Grants’ round of funding. The money has been requested for the Willows treated at the base of the Crag following: Care site 1. Summer 2015/16 Willow control. Yes really! With the work volunteers have put in below First Falls where we have just one willow still desperately clinging to life, and between First and Second Falls where volunteers have treated 9 willows and there are now just 5 left, we have a real opportunity to eliminate willow entirely from the park. Some follow up money is also available for summer 2016- 17. This is wonderful news for the creek line. 2. Ash control. Desert Ash, Fraxinus angustifolia , like willow, is a declared plant in South Australia and it invades native vegetation along streams. A couple of years ago we managed to kill the only mature seeding ash in Morialta valley, but we are now dealing with some larger ash which have made their way up a very steep blackberry infested side gully of the gorge. There are also many seedlings along Fourth Creek. Earlier this year a complete survey of all ash below First Falls was made with there being 17 ash before the First falls car park and a further 35 below it in the creek line on the way into the park. Removing any ash large enough to start forming seed is now a high priority. No ash have been sighted above First Falls - if you have seen any elsewhere in Morialta please let us know! All this funding is in addition to the NRM funding mentioned in the previous newsletter, which is being provided through our Volunteer Support Officer. Detailed view of how the contractors The Friends committee are pretty excited by all the extra treat each willow, this one is just above activities happening which are complementing our project 2nd Falls, treated late February 2016 sites and improving our parks, we hope you are too. Liz Milner NEWFLASH Since this newsletter item was submitted, there have been some developments! The willow work has all been completed. Contractors did all the work 3 rd Falls to Second Falls first & then the ones upstream from 3 rd Falls. They have not tackled any Willow between 2nd and 1st falls. These will be addressed by volunteers, Liz and Garth. Friends of Black Hill and Morialta Inc. Number 150 Apr – May – Jun 2016 Page 2 President’s Update The committee is continuing to look at how we can celebrate the group’s 30 th anniversary. One possibility being considered is a fungi- blitz on 28 August. The practicalities of this are being worked through. Another option might be a night walk with a bat detector.

It appears that there may be a new plant in Morialta not previously recorded on the plants lists. It is so floriferous that it is indeed hard to believe that it has not previously been sighted, identified and recorded. What is believed to be the purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) has been sighted in two locations. One above third falls and one below first falls. Samples have been taken and are being pressed in order to present to the State Herbarium for a positive identification.

  • 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.

  • Adopted 2010
    FOREWORD Hallett Cove and Marino Conservation Parks are located on the southern Adelaide metropolitan coastline and provide beautiful vistas over Gulf St Vincent. These parks protect areas of remnant coastal vegetation in an otherwise urbanised environment. They are loved by the local community and are significant to the Kaurna people. The important Tjilbruke Dreaming passes through the area and large numbers of Aboriginal artefacts have been recorded in the parks. Hallett Cove Conservation Park is known internationally for its outstanding geological features that provide evidence of glaciation over 280 million years ago. The park is a popular destination for walkers and is linked with the City of Marion coastal walking trail that continues north through Sandison Reserve and offers stunning views of the Adelaide coastline. The Friends of Hallett Cove Group have worked tirelessly to re-vegetate the park, which has benefited enormously from their efforts. Marino Conservation Park is located around two kilometres north of Hallett Cove adjacent to the prominent Marino Rocks Lighthouse. The park is a popular area for the local community and is enjoyed by regular visitors. I would like to thank the Community Reference Group and Friends of Parks Groups who gave their time in developing this Management Plan. Their interest and passion for these parks will ensure they are cared for well into the future. And I commend the plan’s arrangements to maintain and improve visitor facilities and to manage the impact of recreational activities on the sensitive coastal environment in these parks. I formally adopt the plan of management for Hallett Cove and Marino Conservation Parks under the provisions of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.
