Deep Creek Conservation Park

Reviewed By 624schalkh - Adelaide, Australia

We did the Deep Creek Waterfall Hike from Tapanappa Lookout (3.5 hrs return, 7 km) and is rated as a hard walk. It is truly a long walk but worth the destination. My 50 year old lovely wife did the walk 6 months after breaking her ankle, and she easily managed. We crossed paths with a group that was busy with a portion of Heysen Trail 2 days into a 12-day treck, and they were ecstatic with their adventure.

Penguin Centre

Reviewed By andrewjpatten - Brisbane, Australia

Starts at sundown. So in summer that is a late start for a young family. The guides were extremely good. Penguin and nature lovers and full of knowledge. Liked the way when they found a penguin, children were asked to come forward first. I think the tour is the safest way to see the colony. Saw 5 penguins and a baby. Explained how to very careful with bright light, noise and distance for viewing- all of which we saw ignored by people just walking over the bridge at night alone.

Onkaparinga River National Park

Reviewed By madams2456

Visited the park in July, close to McLaren Vale but dramatically different. Had a number of walk options. We did the ridge walk about 4kms, with a nice lookout. Paths are clearly marked. The ridge walk was pretty easy until the end which was about 500 metres uphill. Not as bad as it sounds if you take your time. Views along the walk are well worth it. There are easier and harder walks just check the websites or the information boards when you arrive.
