Glen­thorne Nation­al Park-Itya­mai­it­pin­na Yarta, Adelaide’s sec­ond met­ro­pol­i­tan nation­al park, has opened its gates to the public. 

With south­ern right whales mak­ing their annu­al frol­ic along the coasts of Ade­laide, August is an ide­al time to vis­it the Fleurieu Penin­su­la where these ocean won­ders are an infa­mous tourism drawcard.

Free entry into Flinders Chase on Kan­ga­roo Island has been extend­ed until the end of August in a move designed to fur­ther sup­port the local com­mu­ni­ty and tourism econ­o­my as the island recov­ers from the dev­as­tat­ing sum­mer bush­fires and COVID-19. 

Fri­day 31 August is World Ranger Day and the per­fect time to cel­e­brate South Australia’s park rangers and the way they are sup­port­ing the large num­ber of peo­ple vis­it­ing the state’s parks. 

Almost $450,000 in com­mu­ni­ty dona­tions will be grant­ed to 20 Wildlife Recov­ery Fund recip­i­ents to help wildlife and native flo­ra recov­er from last summer’s dev­as­tat­ing bushfires.
