Sandy Creek Conservation Park

Nestled amidst farmland, vineyards, and sand mining pits, Sandy Creek Conservation Park conserves some of the last remaining vegetation of the Barossa Valley's sandy soil lowlands. Established on gently undulating sand dunes with occasional creeks, the park offers several walking trails through native pine and pink gum woodlands. Visitors can encounter wildlife such as western grey kangaroos grazing on the grasslands in the early morning and at dusk. The park is also significant for birdwatching, with a rich diversity of species, though some populations are in decline due to changing habitats. Spring is the best time to view the wildflowers.
