'Deep Creek Conservation Park, comprising 4,500 hectares of coastal bushland and open sclerophyll forest, is the largest remaining block of natural habitat on the Fleurieu Peninsula.'
"Home to a large cariety of native fauna and flora, it is an important refuge for some endangered species.
"The park provides visitors with recreational opportunities including bushwalking on an extensive network of trails, camping in five campgrounds and viewing the spectacular scenery of Backstairs Passage, Kangaro Island and the rugged Deep Creek valley." [From the sign.]

Access: CAUTION is required if it has rained recently, as I didn't have 4-wheel drive, and was on an Unsealed road, that turned out to be a waist-high mud/clay dowhill 'luge run' in my Nissan Dualis - making me feel like a ball bearing in a pin-ball machine !! Luckily I s was able to continue downhill to a better 'cross-road' and get out another way.
