The Fleurieu Peninsula to the mountain ranges of Mt Lofty

Meander from Cape Jervis bypassing the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula to the Deep Creek Nature Park, where cliffs plunge into the Southern Ocean. This is really the most difficult and most exciting rides. Walk to Deep Creek waterfalls, swim or snorkel snorkeling from Boat Harbour Beach, and picnic under the trees with drooping bark, stringybark. Exit the park and follow the wild beach Tunkalilla Beach, winding through the cliffs and across sparkling creeks. In the nature of Newland Head, you can go fishing and surf from the beaches of Parsons and Waitpinga. Try to spot kangaroos, platypus and hundreds of bird species that live there, from the tiny to the majestic delicate mérion large Australian eagle. Admire the colorful wildflowers in spring and whales, seals and eagles blagres in winter. Stand on the cliffs forming steep headlands to admire the view on Waitpinga Creek, Encounter Bay and Kangaroo Island. From Kings Beach, the path heads north through reserves and rolling hills, forests and farms. Pause to see Glacier Rock, old 500 million years in Inman Valley then made the difficult ascent of the natural park mountains of Myponga. The tops of hills offer panoramic views of valleys and mountain ranges they dominate. Go through the gastronomic center of Mount Compass and climb to the top of Mount Magnificent for more great views. Drive through forests of pine and eucalyptus to the Adelaide Hills at the start of the chain of Mount Lofty Mountains. You can sleep in cottages Bavarian-style, and see the house of artist Sir Hans Heysen in the historic German village of Hahndorf. Admire the koalas and parrots nesting in the trees and walk amongst rhododendrons and camellias in the botanic gardens at the foot of Mount Lofty.
