Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park - Tanunda
Nestled amongst the Barossa Ranges, this rugged park is perfect for keen bushwalkers. There are two walking trails passing through a variety of landscapes including creeks, rocky outcrops, areas of low forest, scrub and open grassland. The park has panoramic views over the ranges to the Barossa Valley and the distant Gulf St Vincent. Both trails identify native plants and points of interest, as well as offering the chance to observe kangaroos in their natural setting.
Evenings and early mornings are the best time to observe the park’s birdlife. Kangaroos feed on the open grasslands, while the occasional Echidna or possum may be seen foraging for food at dusk.
The park is visited by many native birds such as Wedge-tailed Eagles, Blue Wrens, parrots, honeyeaters, finches and thornbills. However, the park is too small to sustain many bird species and every year sees further declines in their diversity and abundance.
