It isn't too often you hear the Arid Recovery name mentioned in parliament. Recently Senator Alex Gallacher travelled up to Roxby Downs for the official opening of the Roxby Downs Area School's new gym. With a little time to spare he was eager to take a trip out to the reserve to understand how Arid Recovery works and what makes our arid lands so unique.
Within a couple of hours Alex and his reptile shy assistant Matthew had seen the far north reaches of the reserve, tested out a solar panelled cat trap, learnt a little about the flora and fauna found inside and out and of course had a close look at our fence. Upon returning to Adelaide, Alex decided Arid Recovery and the conservation goals we are working towards was worthy of a mention in parliament.
