Onkaparinga River NP - Old Noarlunga, SA, Australia - National Parks of the World on Waymarking.com

"In Onka­paringa Riv­er Nation­al Park, diverse hik­ing trails take you to cliff tops with mag­nif­i­cent views, or down to per­ma­nent rock pools teem­ing with life. You’ll see rugged ridge tops and the nar­row riv­er val­ley of the spec­tac­u­lar Onka­paringa Gorge. This park pro­tects some of the finest remain­ing pock­ets of rem­nant veg­e­ta­tion in the South­ern Ade­laide region. Wher­ev­er you go, you’ll be among native wildlife such as birds, koalas, kan­ga­roos and pos­sums?—?you may even spot an echid­na. Areas of the park were used as farm­land for many years, so you can also dis­cov­er her­itage-list­ed huts and the ruins of hous­es built in the 1880s." (visit link)

Visit Instructions:

A log will require a recent photograph at the coordinates. Some of these locations will be placed for the scenery, so a gpsr will just ruin the picture.

If you don't have a digital camera post a descriptive log.
