ABOUT Chapman River Regional Park

The reserve is surrounded by several suburbs: Sunset Beach, Waggrakine and Moresby to the north of the Chapman River, and Bluff Point, Spalding and Strathalbyn to the south.
"The diversity of vegetation, habitats and flora, including priority and threatened species, found at the Chapman River Regional Park is locally and regionally significant, with no comparable system found within 50 km of the reserve".
