Cudlee Creek Conservation Park
Regenerating bushland in the Torrens Gorge
Regenerating bushland in the Torrens Gorge
High above the River Torrens in the Hills' Torrens Valley, Cudlee Creek Conservation Park protects a swathe of regenerating native bushland. The reserve was heavily affected by the 2019 bushfires, and a visit today is a lesson in how quickly the Australian bush recovers, with vigorous regrowth carpeting the slopes.
Walking trails wind through stringybark forest and open grassy woodland, with glimpses down into the Torrens Gorge. It's a quiet, contemplative spot favoured by birdwatchers and walkers who like their trails uncrowded.
Pair it with the nearby Gorge Wildlife Park and a drive along the scenic Gorge Road.
