Key Biodiversity Area 6

This area has undergone large transformation, with concerted restoration efforts creating a natural riverine oasis.

Located along the River Torrens / Karrawirra Pari west of the city and downstream of the weir, the target ecological community for KBA 6 is Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) Woodland along the creeks and river systems and Eucalyptus porosa (Mallee Box) Woodland on upper slopes.

The riverine community is commonly made up of River Red Gum overstorey, with some SA Blue Gum and scattered Drooping Sheoaks. Along the terraces and riverbanks, Silky Tea-tree and River Bottlebrush may be found, with in stream species such as Common Reed and Bulrush present in areas.

When visiting KBA 6, keep an eye and ear out for native birds, frogs, and insects.

By protecting and enhancing this area, we can restore ecological processes and improve habitat, providing a healthier environment for all living organisms, including us humans.
