Traditional landscape in Para Wirra Conservation Park, South Australia, Australia
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. This park is open seven days a week from sunrise to sunset (except Christmas Day). This park is closed on days of Catastrophic Fire Danger and may be closed on days of Extreme Fire to the local area radio station for the latest updates and information on fire safety. You and your dog can enjoy this park providing you keep your dog on a lead and under your control at all times. Don't forget to bring your disposable 'doggie-doo' bag to clean up after your dog. Para Wirra Conservation Park is a perfect spot for group and family gatherings, with accessible facilities in a natural bushland setting. The lake is one of the park’s most popular places, there’s a barbecue area and picnic tables with a view out over the water.
