Roads have now reopened to four-wheel dri­ve traf­fic at the spec­tac­u­lar Malkum­ba-Coongie Lakes Nation­al Park and all SA desert parks, after flood­wa­ters affect­ed road access late last year.

A total of 51 pre­scribed burns are planned as part of Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Service’s (NPWS) autumn 2023 fire man­age­ment pro­gram, which is antic­i­pat­ed to start in the next fortnight.

More and more peo­ple are redis­cov­er­ing South Australia’s nat­ur­al beau­ty with vis­its to some nation­al parks sky­rock­et­ing 35 per cent over the past year.

Expres­sions of inter­est are now open to run the café and retail space in the new Flinders Chase Vis­i­tor Cen­tre which is cur­rent­ly under con­struc­tion after the for­mer build­ing was destroyed in the 2019 – 20 fires.

For some it’s a buck­et-list activ­i­ty, a unique eco-tourism expe­ri­ence where you can get up close and per­son­al with the largest preda­to­ry fish on the planet.
