Pitch in for our Parks this Clean Up Australia Day

Clean Up Australia Day is fast approaching and we are calling for volunteers to help clean up Riverland national parks as part of the flood recovery efforts.

Flood waters are receding, however many campsites, internal tracks, trails and roads across the region’s national parks are still closed with waste and debris blocking trails.
