Get to know the peo­ple behind South Australia’s parks and nat­ur­al spaces this World Ranger Day.


World Ranger Day this Tues­day 31 July pro­vides us with the oppor­tu­ni­ty to cel­e­brate the great work rangers do to pro­tect our nat­ur­al environment.

It also com­mem­o­rates rangers around the world who are killed or injured in the line of duty.

Check out the pro­files of some of the rangers – past and present – who have worked tire­less­ly to make South Australia’s parks and nat­ur­al spaces enjoy­able for all.

Why not read our Insid­er Guides to find out what inspires these pas­sion­ate peo­ple, and maybe pick up a tip or two about your favourite park?
