Starting from the Sundews Trails (Gate 11) car park on Piggott Range Road, Onkaparinga Hills, this walk takes you on a circuit past the Sundews Lookout via the Sundews Lookout Hike. This moderately short and easy loop meanders through native vegetation to the Sundews Lookout at the eastern end of Onkaparinga River National Park, offering spectacular views of the gorge. The trail winds its way through a low open forest of grey box and sheoak before descending to the lookout, which offers panoramic views of the rocky outcrops and the river flowing through the gorge below, then loops back to the car park. Different species of birds can be seen along the track in spring, as well as colourful displays of wildflowers. The loop can easily be extended by combining it with the adjacent Sundews Ridge Hike. This loop consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating fire tracks and walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
