Parra Wirra Long

This is a per­fect park for immers­ing your­self in nature. The park is also home to the Barossa Gold­fields, where you can dis­cov­er the ruins and the his­to­ry of a once thriv­ing min­ing operation.

There are over 100 species of birds liv­ing in the park, includ­ing the cheeky emus you’ll see patrolling the pic­nic grounds. You can see kan­ga­roos graz­ing at dawn and dusk, and on a warm day beard­ed drag­ons and sleepy lizards bask in the sun­shine. If you’re in luck you might also spot a short-beaked echid­na, a shy crea­ture whose dig­gings can be found through­out the park.
