Much of the “Adelaide Hills” and Fleurieu Peninsula is “highly picturesque”.
However, only a very tiny portion even remotely resembles its “natural” or “original” state.
When colonists arrived in South Australia in 1836, stringybark forest flourished in much of “the hills” and on “the Fleurieu”.
Since 1836 – mostly, within a century of 1836 – almost all of it has been destroyed.
The stringybark forest in Deep Creek Conservation Park is modest in size.
However, it is now South Australia’s largest and best “old-growth” example of this forest type.
