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. Hon lan Hunter MLC Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation CONTENTS GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PARKS VISITORS ................11 Park categories.......................................................................11 -
Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis Heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren)
This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister/Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999). Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Rutidosis heterogama, Family Asteraceae, also known as the Heath Wrinklewren or Heath Wrinklewort, is a perennial herb with decumbent (reclining to lying down) to erect stems, growing to 30 cm high (Harden, 1992; DECC, 2005a). The tiny yellow flowerheads are probably borne March to April (Leigh et al., 1984), chiefly in Autumn (Harden, 1992) or November to January. Seeds are dispersed by wind (Clarke et al., 1998) and the species appears to require soil disturbance for successful recruitment (Clarke et al., 1998). Conservation Status Heath Wrinklewren is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as vulnerable on the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Heath Wrinklewren is confined to the North Coast and Northern Tablelands regions of NSW. It is known from the Hunter Valley to Maclean, Wooli to Evans Head, and Torrington (Harden, 1992). It occurs within the Border Rivers–Gwydir, Hunter–Central Rivers and Northern Rivers (NSW) Natural Resource Management Regions. -

ISSN 0067-1975 Three New Species of Psaltoda Stål from Eastern Australia (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea: Cicadidae) M.S. MOULDS Entomology Department, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. Psaltoda antennetta n.sp. and P. maccallumi n.sp. are cicadas restricted to rainforest habitats in northeastern Queensland. Psaltoda mossi n.sp. is far more widespread, ranging through eastern Queensland to northern New South Wales. Psaltoda antennetta is remarkable for its foliate antennal flagella, an attribute almost unique among the Cicadoidea. Relationships of these three species are discussed and a revised key to all Psaltoda species provided. MOULDS, M.S., 2002.
