Professor Bob Bourman and I have just submitted a report to the Inman River Catchment Landcare Group (southern Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia) entitled ‘The geology and landforms of the Inman River Catchment‘.  Some funds in support of the project came from the Regional Landcare Facilitator Programme, an initiative of the Australian Government’s National Landcare Programme.  Our time in researching the subject and writing the report was a voluntary effort.  

The general aim of the project was to prepare an overview of the geology and geomorphology of the Inman Catchment.  This was to provide a basis for improving local knowledge and awareness of how landscape and landforms have changed (and continue to change) according to landuse and land management practices.  We enlisted the help of landowners and gained new insights via their responses to a wide-ranging questionnaire.
