Gluepot Nature Reserve

Gluepot Reserve, located near Waikerie in the semi-arid South Australian mallee, is considered by many to be one of Australia's most impressive reserves. 

One of only 12 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in Australia, the 50,000-hectare area of virgin mallee scrub contains no less than six nationally endangered bird species and a unique flora and fauna adapted to the harsh conditions.

The Gluepot Reserve Environmental Education Centre is run entirely by volunteers and presents regular courses in its converted shearing shed, including ‘Painting Nature', ‘An Introduction to Birds and Bird Watching' and ‘Discovering the Vegetation & Habitat The Mallee Provides'.  www.riverland.net.au/gluepot
