Cleland National Park

Cleland National Park, located in the Adelaide Hills, offers a rich tapestry of native bushland, diverse wildlife, and cultural heritage. The park features an extensive network of walking and cycling trails, including the popular Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty Summit track, providing visitors with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. Within its 1,036-hectare expanse, the park conserves significant areas of native vegetation, including old-growth stringybark forests that serve as vital nesting sites for the yellow-tailed black cockatoo. Additionally, Cleland National Park is home to rare perched swamps, such as Wilsons Bog, which support unique ecosystems and endangered species like the southern brown bandicoot. The park's rich biodiversity and cultural significance have been recognized with its inclusion in the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy, a network of forest conservation projects across the Commonwealth.
