Our group numbers around fifty members, with an active "core" of between fifteen and twenty. We are from all walks of life, with a fairly high proportion of members who have retired, live near the park and enjoy the challenge of enhancing the beauty and biodiversity of the park.

Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month. They are friendly and informal gatherings and we usually have guest speakers every three months - usually at one of the friends' houses.

Working bees are held at the park on the first Sunday after the monthly meeting, the first Tuesday of the month, and the fourth Saturday of the month. Individuals also have their own "patches" where they can work at times they choose. Our monthly newsletter "Bandicoot Tails" will give you more details, as will our program.

Scott Creek Conservation Park is situated approximately thirty kilometers south of Adelaide. The park has many fire tracks which double as excellent walking trails. The ridge tracks give superb views of steep heavily wooded slopes and gullies, whilst the many seasonal creeks give rise to an enormous variety of native species.

The tracks are clearly sign posted and will take you though some interesting and varied country including open woodland; grassland; historic ruins (such as the chimney seen at the left); the mines; Mackereth Cottage and beside the beautiful Scott Creek itself. We have included some maps to give you an idea of the park's tracks and access points.

The park has no facilities, so it's best to bring water with you. Wear walking boots and a good hat. Some of the walks are steep, but there are also easy ones too.

Dogs, bicycles, horses and camping aren't permitted in the park. The nearest public facilities are in Mark Oliphant Conservation Park, approximately seven kilometres to the north.
