Australian Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and SANTS technical/support staff. They worked together to record ecological and cultural data and the value and uses of the plants and animals in the Gawler Ranges National Park. Indigenous participants were trained in biological survey techniques and the shareing and recording of cultural knowledge of plants and animals. The survey targeted 3-4 separate ecosystems and was undertaken from 27 September/3 October 2010 and involved a field team of some 20 people. The ornithologist returned to the park from 4-6October and recorded extra opportunistic bird records.
