Brownhill Creek Recreation Park, Adelaide

Although only eight kilometres south of Adelaide, the beautiful Brownhill Creek Recreation Park has a heart-of-the-country feel to it. Situated in the foothills of the Adelaide Hills, it consists of a steep sided valley, intersected by a narrow creek. Some of the red gums here are over 300 years old. A few walking trails of varying lengths have been cut through the dense vegetation. Development does not detract from the scenery and you still have to leap over rocks or clamber across logs to cross the creek when it is flowing. Accommodation is available at Brownhill Creek Caravan Park.
