南オーストラリアの峡谷・トップ4

オンカパリンガ川国立公園は、アデレードの南約30〜35キロにあるオンカパリンガ渓谷の険しい地形を保護しており、急な尾根、狭い川の谷、恒久的な岩のプールが、この地域で最もドラマチックな景観の1つを作り出しています。公園には、崖の上の展望台や渓谷に通じるウォーキングトレイルのネットワークがあり、カンガルー、コアラ、鳥類、ハリモグラなど、豊富な野生生物が生息しています。この公園はまた、かつて農業に使用されていた地域に点在する、遺産に登録された小屋や1880年代の遺跡など、歴史の一面も反映しています。

Upper falls is a seasonal cascade that typically flows after significant rainfall, spilling over rocky ledges surrounded by stringybark forest and native undergrowth. There is plenty of shade here, making this a great spot for a scenic break, especially after rain when the water is running.

Nice viewpoint right on the trail. If you have the time you can access the base of the falls by taking the First Falls Track which is a short spur off of Centre Track.

The Parachilna Gorge is a gorge in the state of South Australia in Australia. It is located about 8 kilometers east of the small town of Parachilna. The Parachilna Creek that flows through it meanders through this part of the rugged Flinders Range mountain range. The bare, reddish rocks of the gorge shine impressively in the early morning and late afternoon sun and are popular photo subjects.

This is where the Gorge hike comes to the Onkaparinga River. From Sundew lookout it’s a steep descent and often quite a rough path. From here, you can follow the river to the right or left.

The Alligator Gorge Track is about 2 km long. Approximately 250 high steps lead down from the parking lot into the gorge.

This is a spectacular stretch of road from Adelaide into the hills vice versa. The landscape starts very green and on a gentle climb at the bottom and becomes rugged, rocky and a bit steeper near Kangaroo Dam and from where it ondulates towards Cudlee Creek. Usually not much traffic but every now and then some no brainers on motorbikes use to test their racing skills. Other then that I give this road 10/10 👍
