The River Torrens is 85 kilometres long and is the main river in Adelaide, flowing down from the Mount Lofty Ranges near Mount Pleasant to the sea at West Beach.
The river has long been a place to meet and socialise for the Kaurna people. They called it Karrawirra Parri, meaning “river of the Red Gum forest” referring to the dense eucalyptus forest that used to line the banks prior to European settlement.
