About the Fleurieu Peninsula South Australia (1288 words) |
 | 30 minutes south of Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula is bounded to the west by the Gulf St Vincent, and the Southern Ocean to the Southeast, with car ferries to Kangaroo Island off the western tip and the famous Coorong National Park running along the easterly coastline. |
 | The history of the Fleurieu Peninsula goes back many, many thousands of years before European arrival and is documented in the rich oral traditions continuing with the Kaurna, Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri. |
 | The estates of the people of the Lower Murray are interlinked with a network of sites that collectively serve to document the creation of their lands, as well as to provide a repository to an encyclopaedic body of knowledge about the plants, the animals, the seasons, the climate and the people’s continuing relationship to ‘country’. |
