Stringybark forest (#1 in “Deep Creek” single-image teaser series)

 

 

Deep Creek Conservation Park is circa 110 kilometres south of Adelaide – 90 minutes driving time, almost all of it on good roads.

One of South Australia’s better kept “secrets” includes SA’s best remaining (tiny) remnant of a once relatively common but now very rare type of forest, spectacular coastline, lovely bushland, wildflowers, many birds, and lots of ‘roos,

And that’s not all…

If you walk into the aforementioned forest in winter, its “floor” will almost certainly sport an astonishing array of fungi. Thriving grass trees (which are not trees) are a constant presence.

Walks along ridge tops – or down to the.coast from them – will often yield glorious views over to Kangaroo Island.

You just might see whales….
