  • 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.

  • HFNC Excursion 21 Oct 2012 – Bool Lagoon Game Reserve in South Australia
    HFNC Excursion 21 Oct 2012 – Bool Lagoon Game Reserve in South Australia Rod Bird & Dave Munro This was the third of the HFNC excursions to these wetlands in the last 20 years, starting from a campout in October 1994 and a day visit in May 2005. Present: John & Glenys Cayley, Amanda & Craig Carpenter, Ken Grimes & Janeen Samuel, David & Lyn Munro, Rod Bird, Hilary Turner. Travel: Most of the group met at the Hamilton Visitor Information Centre at 9 am and drove through Penola to Bool Lagoon, stopping at the entrance car park. There we met Ken & Janeen who had been driving back from Adelaide and Amanda & Craig who had been staying at Penola. The entry fee was $9 per vehicle. Bool Lagoon: This is one of the largest and most diverse freshwater systems in southern Australia. This a wetland of international importance, registered under the RAMSAR convention, and significant as a summer refuge for migratory waders. Brolga and Magpie Geese also find it a haven. The brochure states that 150 bird species frequent the wetland system. From a scrutiny of the map, the wetland covers about 3,000 ha. There was only shallow water in much of the swamp, covered in Water Ribbons. That vegetation obscured the ducks, Black Swan, Great Egrets and Magpie Geese that were out in the expanse of water. However, the wetland area near the main buildings and picnic area was quite clear of vegetation and hence deeper in water. There we saw quite a few Hardheads, many Eurasian Coots and a few Hoary-headed Grebes.

  • 2007 Summaries of Wildlife Research Findings
    96 EVIDENCE OF LEAD SHOT PROBLEMS FOR WILDLIFE, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND HUMAN HEALTH – IMPLICATIONS FOR MINNESOTA Richard O. Kimmel and Molly A. Tranel, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Farmland Wildlife Population and Research Group, 35365 800th Ave, Madelia, MN 56062, email: [email protected], phone 507-642-8478 x 225 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS There is considerable evidence published in professional scientific journals demonstrating that lead shot negatively impacts the health of wildlife, humans, and the environment. More than 100 species of birds (including upland birds, raptors, and waterfowl) have been weakened or killed by ingesting lead shot. The impacts of lead shot on wildlife include decreased survival, poor body condition, behavioral changes, and impaired reproduction. Studies in Canada, Greenland, and Russia have linked lead shot found in game animals to higher levels of lead in people who eat those game animals. Recent evidence shows that meat far from entry wounds may contain lead fragments. Effective nontoxic alternatives to lead shot are available at a similar cost. Countries, such as Denmark and The Netherlands, as well as some states in Australia have banned the use of lead shot. In North America, federal regulations prohibit the use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting and 26 states and provinces have additional nontoxic shot regulations for hunting doves, pheasants, and other species. INTRODUCTION Our nation has taken great strides to reduce environmental and human exposure to lead through restricting use of lead in gasoline and paints and restricting imported goods containing lead. However, lead continues to enter the environment and the diet of people through lead shot used by hunters.
