Description
The Arid Lands Botanic Garden is a 'go to' location for Chirruping Wedgebill and is a major visitor drawcard for its gardens. Other birds regularly seen include Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater, White-backed Swallow, Red-capped Robin and Purple-crowned Lorikeet.
From the Garden's website: "The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden (AALBG), in Port Augusta, was established in 1993, with the Garden officially opening in 1996, to research, conserve and promote the wider appreciation of Australia’s arid zone flora.
Located on the shores of Upper Spencer Gulf with spectacular views to the ancient Flinders Ranges, the Garden showcases a diverse collection of arid zone habitats in a picturesque setting of more than 250 hectares".
