The township comprises some 45 dwellings with a permanent population of, at most, 80 persons. The town is heavily shaped by its stunning natural setting and exists because of it. Tourism is the primary economic driver of the town with a significant number of dwellings built as weekenders and holiday homes and available for rental. Several other buildings offer ‘Bed n Breakfast’ accommodation while others offer group facilities in the form of campsites. Several tourist operators including a well established ‘seal tours’ operate from Cape Bridgewater.

    GREAT SOUTH WEST WALK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FRIENDS OF THE GREAT SOUTH WEST WALK PARKS VICTORIA DEPARTMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT September 2007 Great South West Walk iv Contents FOREWORD For those who’ve come across the seas, there are boundless plains to share, with courage let us all unite to Advance Australia Fair Australian National Anthem Rarely do the words of an anthem ring as true as ours does to the work of the Friends of the Great South West Walk. It has been my very great pleasure to be associated with the Great South West Walk as its patron since 2005. The honour is heightened by the fact that I follow in the footsteps of only two previous patrons, Bill Golding and Sam Bruton, the founders of the walk itself. This report honours and builds upon the legacy they have left the Friends Group and the wider community. The Great South West Walk is managed by an active ‘friends’ group under the guidance of Parks Victoria. The Friends Group, which presently boasts a membership of 110, has the formidable task of maintaining and promoting the Walk and, with the support of Parks Victoria working to preserve Aboriginal heritage and the environment. In some ways, little has changed since the last Management Strategy in 1996. The foreward to that strategy by Peter Novotny, the then Chief Ranger for the Far South West, stated that ‘the Great South West Walk is one of Victoria's great recreational assets.’ This is still so. It is also the case that the Friends’ group remains reliant on its relationships with local businesses and the Glenelg Shire Council as well as Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and the local Indigenous groups.

Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage March 2001 Ó Department for Environment and Heritage ISBN 0 7590 1017 X Prepared by South East Region National Parks and Wildlife SA Department for Environment and Heritage FIS 16285 Foreword This management plan sets out the objectives and actions for the Lower Glenelg River Conservation Park. It has been prepared in accordance with the National Parks and Wildlife Act, 1972. The Lower Glenelg River Conservation Park is located south-east of Mount Gambier in the Lower South East of South Australia. Dedicated in 1993 for the conservation of important vegetation associations and species, the Park is an extension of Victoria’s Lower Glenelg National Park, which adjoins it on the eastern boundary. The Glenelg River forms the western boundary. The Park contains an endangered vegetation association (Swamp Gum woodland) and several endangered plant species. Two of the endangered species include the Slender Greenhood and Shining Buttercup. The Park provides habitat for a variety of threatened fauna species including the Rufous Bristlebird, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Peregrine Falcon, and Red-necked Wallaby. This management plan has been developed to conserve the threatened species of the Park, particularly the numerous endangered plant species, through research, population monitoring and pest species control. The Lower Glenelg National Park is included in the World List of National Parks and Equivalent Reserves, and encompasses the spectacular Glenelg River’s limestone gorge and associated woodlands and heath.

    Victoria Record No 0007

    ABW ACTIVITY INVENTORY (AI) - Activity Information Record This row for office use only – Go to ‘Activity’. Activity Code W Area code Victoria Record No 0007 Activity Walk (‘W’) Location The Great South West Walk (GSWW) is a circuit running for 250 km in south western Victoria. This entry describes the walks in the Lower Glenelg National Park. Outline of activity This is a 2 – 3 day walk on established tracks alongside the beautiful Glenelg River. Existing campsites are very well prepared, the terrain is very flat so it is suitable for all levels of walker and there are numerable entry/exit points via good dirt roads. The walk of about 50 km can be done in either direction and can be made shorter by starting/stopping at any of the road access points. Permits & permissions required, with contact details No permit is needed to walk the GSWW but the administration of campsites within the Lower Glenelg National Park are due to be taken over by Parks Victoria in the near future (by the end of 2011). Parks VIC already administer the kayak and car camping areas of the river and it is expected that they will similarly demand pre-booking and payment for walker’s camps in the same way. For contacts, see the Additional Info section. Maps required For such a simple area, the mapping situation is a dog’s breakfast that reminds you that several Government departments must have been involved. The GSWW website offers a low fidelity map that is not suitable for navigation. Parks VIC has a river map which is suitable for kayaking and shows several campsites that are not shown on the topographical map.
