🔔 Reminder: Government levees along the Murray River are temporarily closed to the public 🚫🚶‍♂️

The Department for Environment and Water is undertaking work 🚜 to repair 20 Lower Murray Reclaimed Irrigation Area (LMRIA) that were overtopped or breached, and subsequently damaged, during the 💦 2022-23 River Murray flood.

Government levees will remain closed while works are in progress, with construction activities expected to continue until 📅 mid-2025. Levees will be progressively reopened as works are completed and safe access is determined. Any government levee not requiring remediation work will remain closed pending the outcome of a safety risk assessment.

Access to private levees is at the discretion of the landholder, however access is not permitted where construction activities are being undertaken.

🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️A new walking trail has opened at Parnka Point in Coorong National Park and is already proving to be highly popular with visitors.

The five-kilometre loop Parnka Ngoppun trail was developed by National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) rangers in consultation with local Ngarrindjeri community members, who also named the trail with Parnka meaning ‘sandy beach’ and Ngoppun meaning ‘walk’.

Located about 30 minutes from Meningie, the walking trail allows visitors to take in the spectacular beauty of the Parnka Point shoreline, taking in the beautiful views of the North and South Lagoons.

The Murray Coorong Trail will eventually connect a range of loop trails and experiences all the way from Cadell in the Riverland to Salt Creek in the Coorong National Park.
