Bounceback

Bounceback is a major conservation project aiming to protect and restore the semi-arid environments of the Flinders, Gawler and Olary ranges of South Australia. It has evolved into a broadscale recovery project incorporating specific conservation objectives across reserves, private land-holdings and pastoral properties.

Bounceback is managed by the Outback Region of the Department for Environment and Heritage.

See the Bounceback web page for more information.

Bounceback in the Gawler Ranges

Bounceback in the Gawler Ranges centres on the recently proclaimed Gawler Ranges National Park, which includes the former Paney pastoral lease and parts of Scrubby Peak lease, and the extensive mallee habitat of Pinkawillinie Conservation Park. Additional focus has been placed on areas off-reserve adjacent to the Gawler Ranges National Park where at-risk populations of the Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby still occur.

Activities conducted as part of Bounceback in the Gawler Ranges include managing total grazing pressure, managing introduced predators and pest plants, protecting significant species, and monitoring vegetation and habitat condition.
