P a g e | 4 Included Lunch & dinner Day 2: Wilpena Pound Resort, Flinders Ranges (Sun, 28 February) Day Itinerary With an early start we travel across the South Australian border and through the Riverland region. Leaving Murray River county, we arrive in Burra, a town classified by the National Trust. Copper from Burra’s “Monster Mine” saved South Australia from bankruptcy in the 1940s. It was the largest metal mine in the country employing 1000 people. Cornish and Welsh miners flocked to Burra to work for the South Australian Mining Association and some set up homes in dugouts hewn out of the banks of the Burra Creek. We push through to Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre of mountains, covering eight times the area of Uluru and is 300 metres higher, such an awe- inspiring vision to behold! Tomorrow we have a chance to discover the extraordinary landscape that is over 800 million years old Stretching from Port Pirie to Lake Callebonna, the ancient mountain range known as the Flinders Ranges (or simply the Flinders) is the largest in South Australia and is known as an iconic Australian environment. Made up of a number of mountain ranges – the ABC, the Elder, the Chace and the Gammon in the far north - the rugged landscape is characterised by rolling hills, deep gorges, ridges and razorbacks and wide plains. The area is perhaps best known for the improbable rock formation, Wilpena Pound, but also includes wonderful national parks, the historic outback town of Quorn, the Clare Valley for wine tasting, as well as numerous ancient Aboriginal art sites. Visitors to the Flinders are likely to encounter a wide range of local wildlife including Kangaroos, Emus, Wedge-Tailed Eagles and the rare Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby. Overnight: Wilpena Pound Resort Wilpena Pound Resort Located in the Ikara Flinders Ranges, Adnyamathanha Country, South Australia P a g e | 5 Wilpena Pound Resort is spectacularly located within the Flinders Ranges National Park, South Australia - 430kms north of Adelaide. This extraordinary landscape is 800 million years old and has been home to Adnyamathanha people for tens of thousands of years. Enjoy a haven of outback hospitality with 60 hotel rooms, a picturesque campground, National Park Visitor Information Centre, restaurant, bar/bistro, swimming pool and general store. Plus, there is so much to see and do. The resort offers a range of Aboriginal Cultural tours, 4WD tours, guided bush walks and the ‘must-do’ scenic flights over Wilpena Pound. Stop and stay awhile as you soak up the incredible beauty of one of the earth’s oldest landscapes. Included Breakfast & Dinner Day 3: Wilpena Pound Resort, Flinders Ranges (Mon, 1 March) Day Itinerary We meet our local guide who will take us on an insider’s tour of this stunning National Park. The Flinders Ranges are well known for their wildflowers but the dramatic gorges and spectacular peaks are the real highlights of this beautiful part of Australia. We will visit two gorges (subject to weather and road conditions), Brachina Gorge and Bunyeroo Gorge. We then visit Gumcreek Station for lunch before returning to Wilpena late-afternoon. Included All meals Day 4: Wilpena Pound Resort, Flinders Ranges (Tue, 2 March) Day Itinerary Today we visit Port Augusta, located at the top of the Spencer Gulf. Major transcontinental rail services pass through Port Augusta as do the major east/west and north/south highways. The town was once an important base for arid land explorations to the north and later became a busy shipping port. We take a brief look around, then embark on an historical train journey aboard the Pichi Richi Rail. This section of rail line is the original Port Augusta to Alice Springs line which travels through the famous Pichi Richi Pass to the historic township of Quorn. The railway heritage is reflected in the names of some of the old hotels - The Grand Junction and the Trans Continental. After lunch at the Great Northern Lodge, we continue north stopping at the Kanyaka Homestead just off the main road. Before P a g e | 6 returning to Wilpena, we spend some time at the Jeff Morgan Art Gallery. Jeff has a superb reputation in the art world with his awe-inspiring creations. Included All meals Day 5: Wilpena Pound Resort, Flinders Ranges (Wed, 3 March) Day Itinerary Today we discover Wilpena Pound at leisure with a free day. You may like to take to the skies with an optional scenic flight (own expense) over stunning the ranges or embark on a spectacular bush walk. Or you may like to just relax at the resort – the choice is yours. All activities today are at your own expense. Tonight, we observe the ever- changing colours of sunset over Wilpena Pound. Marvel at this vast ancient landscape from a spectacular viewing location before dinner at the resort Included All meals Day 6: Rydges Pit Lane Hotel, Murraylands (Thu, 4 March) Day Itinerary We have a travel day ahead as we say goodbye to the spectacular Flinders Ranges. We follow the scenic route through the small settlements of Laura and Gladstone before passing through the Clare Valley and Barossa wine regions. Of course, we can’t visit the Barossa without a wine tasting! Our overnight accommodation is The Bend, a world class motor sport facility The region known as Murraylands lies east of the South Australian capital of Adelaide in the area surrounding the Murray River. This popular tourist region is blessed with interesting historic towns, gorgeous natural scenery and fun outdoor activities, making it a great destination for a family vacation. While the river provides a constant source of activity, some special highlights of the Murraylands region include Mannum, the birthplace of Australia’s first paddle-steamer and home to the Mannum Dock Museum of River History; the gorgeous Sturt Reserve (near Murray Bridge), with many kid-friendly attractions; and kayaking and hiking around the astonishing limestone cliffs of Big Bend. Other recommended things to do include visiting the farmers’ markets of this agricultural hub and stargazing at one of the region’s many riverside campsites. P a g e | 7 Overnight: Rydges Pit Lane Hotel Situated in the main building of Australia’s world-class motorsports facility, The Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend, Rydges Pit Lane Hotel is an ideal option for both business and leisure travellers looking for a unique stay.

  • 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy a Submission to Infrastructure SA by the Motorcycle Riders’ Association of South Australia
    20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy A Submission to Infrastructure SA by the Motorcycle Riders’ Association of South Australia Executive Summary The Motorcycle Riders’ Association of South Australia (MRASA) hopes that the infrastructure strategy will consider, support and accommodate motorcycling in South Australia. Motorcycling represents an efficient form of commuter travel, is popular in sport and recreation in a wide variety of styles and disciplines. Motorcycling in Australia is evolving from an already low carbon footprint into a lower emission and socially acceptable means of transportation that needs to be supported by modern infrastructure, public awareness and improved training. In this submission, the term motorcycle will incorporate all forms of powered two-wheelers including motorcycles and scooters irrespective of power source. Who is the MRASA The Motorcycle Riders' Association of South Australia is an association whose main aim is to protect the rights of all motorcyclists in South Australia and provide them with a voice in the public and political arenas. The MRASA is the recognised voice for motorcycling with the Government and is a member of the Australian Motorcycle Council. We also aim to create a more realistic public perception of motorcyclists through its encouragement and support of road safety initiatives and its involvement in the wider community. It hosts events such as the MRA Toy Run (commencing in 1979, the year MRASA began) and various charity rides, donating to charities supporting the wider community. It also has a social side with two affiliated ride groups, and hosts rallies and runs for members and friends to get together in a family-friendly environment.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Olearia Pannosa Subsp. Pannosa (Silver Daisy-Bush)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Delegate of the Minister on 17 December 2013 Approved Conservation Advice for Olearia pannosa subsp. pannosa (silver daisy-bush) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing and draft plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Olearia pannosa subsp. pannosa (silver daisy-bush), family Asteraceae, is a spreading undershrub or shrub growing up to 1.5 m high, producing rooting stems that can spread over 10–20 m along the ground. The leaf lamina (blade) is elliptic to ovate, the length usually greater than twice the width and obtuse to acute at the base. The hairs of the lower leaf surface and peduncle are appressed, white to cream or a very pale rusty-brown. Flower heads are white or rarely pale mauve, with a yellow centre (Cooke, 1986; Wisniewski et al., 1987; Cropper, 1993). The silver daisy-bush differs from the velvet Daisy-bush (Olearia pannosa subsp. cardiophylla) in leaf shape and the orientation and colour of hairs on the leaf (Willson & Bignall, 2009). Leaf shape is elliptic to ovate in the former and broad-ovate in the latter; and hairs in the former are appressed and white to cream or a very pale rusty-brown, and in the latter are slightly appressed and buff to rusty-brown (Cooke, 1986) Conservation Status The silver daisy-bush is listed as vulnerable under the name Olearia pannosa subsp.
