Coastal wilderness on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula

Deep Creek National Park

Deep Creek National Park occupies a significant position in South Australia's protected area network as the largest remaining natural vegetation block on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The park's coastal location on the southern edge of the mainland, facing toward Kangaroo Island across Backstairs Passage, creates a distinctive landscape of rolling hills descending to rocky shoreline and sheltered beaches. The park's conservation significance stems from its role as a refuge for native vegetation communities that have been largely cleared from surrounding farmland. The terrain features a complex topography of ridges and gullies, with the gullies supporting moisture-loving plants such as orchids and ferns, while exposed hilltops bear the marks of strong coastal winds through stunted, windswept scrub. Five camping areas provide visitors with access to this landscape, including Stringybark with its sheltered forest setting, Trig positioned centrally near hiking trails, Tapanappa with its coastal views, Cobler Hill near Blowhole Beach, and the hike-only Eagle Waterhole site along the Heysen Trail.
