A Biological Survey of the Southern Mount Lofty Ranges
Southern Mount Lofty Ranges Biological Survey APPENDIX I DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATIONS OCCURRING IN SURVEY REGION BOUNDARY. Part 1. Environmental associations in study area occurring within FLEURIEU IBRA sub-region Environmental Total % of Description Association Area vegetation (ha) remaining 3.2.1 Mt. Rapid 12,763 3.9 Hills and ridges on interbedded shale and arkose, locally overlain by tillite. Relict fans form broad flat surfaces near Cape Jervis where some coastal cliffs occur. Open parkland with sown pasture is used for livestock grazing. The scenery of the coastline is dominated by tall cliffs that vary in form and steepness, the amount of rock outcrop and vegetative cover. 3.2.2 Deep Creek 12,984 30.2 A long dissected ridge of phyllite and greywacke with cliffs, or beaches and dunes along the coastline. The cover is predominantly open parkland over sown pasture with widespread remnants of woodland and forest. Inland views tend to be middle-ground panoramic, featuring grassy ridge crests and valley floors with bracken and reed or remnant forest vegetation. 3.2.3 Fleurieu 30,389 15.6 An undulating to hilly dissected tableland on lateritized sandstone. There is a mixed cover of open parkland, forest plantation and woodland. 3.2.4 Inman 37,130 4.4 A series of low dissected ridges and spurs on tillite and arkose, with dunes and beaches or Valley cliffs along the coast. The cover is open parkland over sown pastures and cereal crops. 3.2.5 Bob Tiers 15,761 21.3 Ridges on schist and gneiss with dissected slopes and remnantsof laterite-capped tableland. -

It is famous for its pä, built originally by Käti Mamoe and known as Pa Katata but strengthened and expanded by the Käi Tahu fighting chief, Te Wera, about 1750. It was regarded as the strongest defensive structure of its type in Otago and one of the most impressive earthworks in Te Waipounamu (South Island) from preEuropean times. The Crown returned ownership of the reserve to Te Rünanga o Ngai Tahu as part of the historic Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act of 1998. Today it is jointly managed by Kati Huirapa Rünaka ki Puketeraki and the Department of Conservation under a protected private land (PPL) agreement. History There were some fortified pä in the south, but the colder southern climate meant that vegetable crops such as kumara, a staple part of the diet in warmer northern areas could not be grown. -
Satin Azure Ogyris Amaryllis Meridionalis
Butterfly GardeningFact sheet Lycaenidae family Satin Azure Ogyris amaryllis meridionalis Also known as: Amaryllis Azure Abundance in Adelaide area: Common Flight: Aug – early Apr Wingspan: m 34 mm; f 34 mm Mature larva length: 21–27 mm If you ever encounter this butterfly flying in the sun you will see brilliant blue flashes as the sunlight reflects off its highly metallic wings. As with all the Azure butterflies, they do not open their wings when at rest. As a result, the Satin Azure virtually disappears as the wings are folded to display camouflage colours. For its caterpillar food plant, the Satin Azure prefers Wire-leaf Mistletoe (Amyema preissii), which grows on some Acacia species, but it will use other mistletoes. This butterfly is associated Mistletoe (Amyema miraculosa ssp. boormanii) on with various species of small black ants. It is most Myoporum, Santalum and others, Grey Mistletoe likely to be seen near its food plants, but males (Amyema quandang var. quandang) on Western move to and fly over nearby hilltops. The species Myall (Acacia papyrocarpa). is uncommon in the Adelaide Hills, but is present over most of the state of South Australia. A stunning butterfly, this is another mistletoe feeding member of the Azure group. The colour Caterpillar food plants: Mistletoes (Amyema of the butterfly is a very bright, shining blue spp.) The caterpillars eat the flowers and leaves. with narrow black margins on the upper surface, and a mottled black and brown cryptic pattern Adelaide native species: Wire-leaf Mistletoe underneath. The females have a slightly wider (Amyema preissii) on Blackwood (Acacia black margin on the upper side, and orange-red melanoxylon) and other acacia species. -
