As part of the South Aus­tralian Government’s Parks 2025 com­mit­ment to improve its nature-based tourism offer­ing, stage 1 of upgrades to vis­i­tor facil­i­ties at Akur­ra Adnya (Arka­roo Rock) in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges Nation­al Park has been completed.

Con­cept plan­ning has been com­plet­ed to guide upgrades for key nodes along the 20 km self-dri­ve Brachi­na Gorge Geo­log­i­cal Trail. 

Pro­gress­ing World Her­itage for the Flinders Ranges is well under­way with sup­port of a Com­mu­ni­ty Ref­er­ence Group who is cham­pi­oning the bid at a local level. 

Tor­ren­tial storms rav­aged the Flinders Ranges over the Aus­tralia Day long week­end ear­li­er this year. In par­tic­u­lar, the bridge that pro­vides access to pho­to­graph the famous Cazneaux Tree was dam­aged from flood water. 

Fol­low­ing a spate of wom­bat deaths in recent months along a stretch of road with­in the Coorong Nation­al Park, Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Ser­vice (NPWS) rangers will short­ly deploy cam­era sur­veil­lance to mon­i­tor the area.
