Onkaparinga River National Park Port Noarlunga South, South Australia 5167

"We came here on an autumn day when the sky was blue and immense. Clouds as thin as a veil stretched across the hills. The autumn wind was cool, blowing gently, bringing with it the scent of eucalyptus. We counted our steps in the middle of autumn - the beautiful intersection of summer & winter and watched the trees gently sway in the wind. Occasionally, we stopped to watch the kangaroos rest or hop by the roadside. Love it!"

"It's rare to come across this much space in nature to explore. Enjoy it!"

"I had a good hr hike, great views, peaceful, and saw the biggest Echidna ever! It was quite a rough track in places. I found the signage confusing on the track and got lost for a while. My phone was low on battery, so I couldn't download the app with directions. Next time, I'll make sure."

"Beautiful park. Hardy’s Scrub Hike is a well signposted walk for about 2 hours along paths ranging from sandy, to clay to gravel. Although not wheelchair or pram friendly, young children should find it okay as there are not many hilly bits. There are lots of birdlife and orchids out (in Spring), and I even spotted a koala and kangaroos. Note: there are no toilets at parking places so go beforehand."
