You will feel like in a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen As you descend through forests of pine and eucalyptus shade of Mount Crawford. Is often measured in this mountain the coldest temperatures of the state, and the leaves are covered with frost in winter. Cross the park Kaiserstuhl, where you can see the Barossa Valley to the north and Gulf St Vincent in the far south. Scrub, forests and meadows welcome kangaroos and many endemic birds screams. The trail then descends the main street of Tanunda, a great base for exploring the sixty wineries of the Barossa Valley. Visit world-class wineries and follow a culinary trail. Take a course in oenology or watch artisans at work in one of the many workshops in the region. In the historic town of Gawler nearby, you'll find stone churches, galleries and museums. You also enjoy strudel at the German bakery Lyndoch. Back on track, head to Kapunda, the first copper mine in South Australia. Further north is Burra, where you can visit the huge mine 'Monster Mine' and see the remnants of mining operations on the market place. From here, the green hills give way to dry mallee landscape and the remains of the first settlement. You will see abandoned stone buildings covered with plants in flower at the neck of Mt Bryan East Pass, and walk along the High River wall along 65 kilometers, built by pastoralists in 1860. You can even walk along Tourilie Gorge, the first route used by farmers to reach the distant Murray. Cross a viaduct heritage-listed and fish for trout in Spalding. Then travel to Crystal Brook, where the sandstone cliffs mark the beginning of your journey into the mountain Flinders Ranges.
