[edit] Wetlands
The Dry Creek wetlands are comprised of many separate sections running from the eastern edge of the suburb to the sea outlet of Dry Creek. They form part of the storm water mangement system for the City of Salisbury and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and are connected to numerous drains that run across the Adelaide Plains, as well as being the outflow point for storm water pipes. Some of the wetlands have been extensively landscaped but have only limited public access.
The wetlands form a fauna and flora haven with one of the southern most mangrove habitats in the world, extensive reed and samphire beds and a large bird and fish population.
