Torrens River

The Torrens River is a natural waterway in South Australia that originates in the Mount Lofty Ranges and flows through Adelaide into Gulf St Vincent. It plays a vital role in the region's ecology and history, providing water for agriculture, supporting local wildlife, and shaping the landscape. The river has been extensively altered and managed over time to prevent flooding, improve water quality, and create recreational areas along its banks. Today, the Torrens River is an important feature for both environmental conservation and community activities, reflecting a balance between natural beauty and urban development.
