17.01.2022 We love to share a good news story!! Thanks to the MOBO Group for introducing us to Samantha through one of our previous Calperum Connect programs. Sam is doing a great job in her role here at Calperum, and we're proud and grateful to have her on the team.

17.01.2022 How many animals can you see in this image??? Some of the creatures are very skilled at their camouflage to survive safely in the environment and move around without being spotted by predators. This also makes checking pitfall traps a little trickier, making sure you have not mistaken a cheeky gecko for a lump of clay. Answer - 2 Tesselated Geckos (Diplodactylus tessellatus)

16.01.2022 We’re super excited for our first day of Calperum Connect ISO Up-Skill this morning. Our trainers are ready to go and looking forward to meeting everyone, and the chef has lunches prepared. It’s going to be a great week. Not long now, the countdown is on

15.01.2022 We love the reactions to our ‘Calperum Lakes and Wetland Tour’, such joy and happiness. #jeremyhugs #teamcalperum #culturemeetsecology #calperumstation #riverlandadventures

14.01.2022 We welcome visitors to Calperum Station and love to share this special place with others. Unfortunately, there are those who continue to access the property without permission. We have recently had an increase in property damage, fences being cut, theft and illegal dumping. Due to the nature of our organisation which includes research and education programs, volunteer and stakeholder activities and recreational visitations all access to Calperum Station must be approved by management prior to accessing the property. We do want to continue to provide access to Calperum, so please do the right thing and contact us if you wish to visit.

14.01.2022 Thank you to the Riverland Veterinary Practice for your help with this one recently!! Our rangers found this beautiful fellow on the floodplain unable to fly and not looking well. A trip and overnight stay at the Berri Veterinary Hospital had him recovered and ready to be released in no time. A massive thank you to Cathy and the wonderful team at the clinic who helped our rangers and took fabulous care of the beautiful bird. So very much appreciated.

13.01.2022 Not hard to guess how our Rangers were feeling when they came in to work to find this on Monday morning. Yes, another vandal destroying infrastructure at Calperum. There were many tyre tracks and footprints at the site, sadly some of them from children. Nice bit of parenting, teaching that breaking the law is quite ok.

13.01.2022 Beautiful Ral Ral creek. Come and see it for yourself tomorrow (Wed 21st) on our Rose Week tour, only a few spots remaining. Call 85957359 or message us for bookings

13.01.2022 SAME BUT DIFFERENT ... With Covid 19 restrictions we may not be able to deliver our Step-Up Intensives at Calperum, but we can still share our program ... just in a different way.

09.01.2022 During National Volunteers Week we raise our glasses to the many volunteers that work with us in our efforts to restore, conserve and protect the special place that is Calperum Station.
