River of life
Let’s leave the last days of winter behind us and head off, virtually, to the coast of South Australia where the sun is shining on Port Noarlunga. This staircase leads us down to the mouth of the mighty Onkaparinga River, an important part of the area’s ecosystem. The Onkaparinga is home to a variety of fish, as well as hundreds of native plants and animal species while the river’s estuary is also a habitat for endangered migratory birds.
