More than 12,000 hectares of native bush­land, plan­ta­tion forests and con­ser­va­tion parks in the south­ern Barossa region will be avail­able for recre­ation­al activ­i­ty this June long week­end thanks to a net­work of new access trails. 

Works to improve the health of the Katara­p­ko flood­plain are com­ing to an end after a busy 18 months of con­struc­tion and impor­tant­ly allow­ing the park to reopen to the public.

The oppor­tu­ni­ty to immerse your­self in nature and to expe­ri­ence native wildlife like west­ern grey kan­ga­roos, short beaked echid­nas, 100s of species of birds as well as the odd pass­ing whale makes Deep Creek Con­ser­va­tion Park a must-vis­it destination.
