1 – Tuart gums
Eucalyptus gomphocephala, known as tuart, is a species of tree, one of the six forest giants of Southwest Australia. Tuart forest was common on the Swan coastal plain. The wood is dense, hard, water resistant and resists splintering, and found many uses when it was available. Remnants of tuart forest occur in state reserves and parks, the tree has occasionally been introduced to other regions of Australia and overseas.White flowers appear in mid summer to mid autumn between January to April. Buds that are almost stalkless appear as clusters in groups of seven and have been described as having a small ice cream cone shape. The flowers are formed in tight clusters made up of around seven flowers.

2 – Indigenous Ngarrindjeri Culture

For many thousands of years, the lower Murray River, Lower Lakes and Coorong region was one of the most densely populated areas of Australia. These waterways were home to thousands of Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal people.

The Ngarrindjeri have a timeless connection with the lower Murray River, lakes and Coorong. They lived in communities in this environment, referred to as their supermarket. Everything Ngarrindjeri needed was here – clean waters, foods, medicines, shelter and warmth.
The river supported healthy populations of waterfowl, mussels, cockles, salt and fresh water fish, turtles, kangaroos, possums, native fruits and vegetables. What Ngarrindjeri people didn’t have they traded with groups further upstream and inland. They were renowned for being ‘big, strong and healthy’ due to their varied diet and knowledge of the land.
