Nurragi Conservation Reserve
12 km long disused railway line corridor from Milang to Sandergrove.
The Nurragi Conservation Reserve, occupies 30 hectares of a former rail
reserve, and contains a wide variety of wildflowers and wildlife, and now
forms a popular nature trail. The reserve contains remnant mallee vegetation in a highly developed agricultural region. Within this region less than two percent of the native vegetation remains. There are over 300 different indigenous plant species present on the reserve, of which over 30% are of regional significance. The reserve forms a wildlife corridor linking the eastern Mount Lofty Ranges with Lake Alexandrina. This is very important for many bird species as it provides them with food and protective cover. The best time to visit is during spring and early summer. Visitors are encouraged to use the conservation reserve as a walking trail. There are also interpretive signs present. Amenities are located nearby at Milang and Strathalbyn.
Open: daily, all year.
