Description

This is a per­fect park for immers­ing your­self in nature for walk­ing, pic­nick­ing, and observ­ing native ani­mal life. The park is also home to the Barossa Gold­fields, where you can dis­cov­er the ruins and the his­to­ry of a once thriv­ing min­ing operation. There are over 100 species of birds liv­ing in the park, includ­ing the cheeky emus you'll see patrolling the pic­nic grounds. You can see kan­ga­roos graz­ing at dawn and dusk, and on a warm day beard­ed drag­ons and sleepy lizards bask in the sun­shine. If you're in luck you might also spot a short-beaked echid­na, a shy crea­ture whose dig­gings can be found through­out the park. Dogs are wel­come in this park. Please ensure you: - Keep your dog under con­trol and on a lead no more than two metres in length. - Stick to des­ig­nat­ed walk­ing trails. - Bring dis­pos­able bags to clean up your dog's fae­ces (please be aware there are no bins in nation­al parks).
