ABOUT RED GUM GULLY
Location
We help to care for Red Gum Gully (officially known as Cedar Avenue Reserve) which is in the Adelaide Hills suburb of Blackwood, located about 13 kilometres (25 minutes) south of Adelaide.
The reserve entrance is between numbers 17 and 19 on Miller Terrace, Blackwood (corner Miller Terrace and Southern Avenue).
