Stirling Linear
Park, in the Adelaide Hills, is a natural reserve close to the centre
of Stirling in South Australia. The Park contains large areas of natural
bushland providing significant conservation and biodiversity value to
the Adelaide Hills.
See About
the Park for an introduction to the Park, or view the pages on the
separate components of Hender Reserve, Madurta
Reserve, Stirling Park and Woorabinda.
You
can take a self guided walk around the Woorabinda Lake. A brochure
is available to help you get the most out of your walk.
Dog
walkers, please observe the requirement to leash your dog on the track
around the lake. On those paths where dogs under control can be walked
unleashed, please ensure that you and the dogs stay on the path.
Check
our newsletters for the latest news about the
Park.
An
Environmental Value Assessment Report has been completed for the Friends
of Stirling Linear Park by Robby Towill. It is an excellent report,
and provides a lot of interesting information. It is provided here
as a PDF (3.4 Mb).

These tortoises were spotted at Woorabinda recently. This illustrates
the need to leave fallen logs in place as they are put to good use by
the tortoises, lizards, frogs and other inhabitants of the park.
Fallen
trees and branches in other areas are also part of the natural ecosystem
and whenever possible should be left to rot and crumble away, providing
homes and nourishment for small animals and insects.
