“The city of Adelaide and its immediate surroundings contain some truly remarkable wildlife.  The Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges region is recognised nationally and internationally for its faunal diversity, which is, for the most part, abundant and accessible.  Wildlife communities are found here that occur nowhere else on earth.
A rich collection of animal species can be seen in the region’s conservation parks and large bush blocks in the Adelaide Hills, and along watercourses to the coastal dunes and beaches.  While the greatest variety exists in the natural bushland areas, many species inhabit urban parks, golf courses, school grounds and backyards.  Small numbers are even able to exploit the inner city and occupy human dwellings. “
