The Coorong National Park is a majestic aquatic wilderness region only 80kms from Adelaide and home to more than two hundred different species of waterbirds. Explore this vast wetland ecosystem that consists of ocean beach, freshwater lakes, estuaries, saline lagoons and river mouth. Admire the spectacle of massive flocks of migratory birds that have travelled here from as far away as Siberia and Alaska.
The park is a great place for bird spotting as there are plenty of species of birds in the area, around 238 species being recorded, including ducks, pelicans, swans and waders. For the plant lover, the park offers more than 278 flowering plant and fern species.
The Coorong National Park is of world-wide biological significance and is a must-visit on a trip to Adelaide.
