Starting from the Goondooloo Ridge Day Visitor Area off Blowhole Beach Road, Deep Creek National Park, this walk takes you to the Goondooloo Ridge Lookout and Picnic Area and back via the Goondooloo Ridge Walk. Deep Creek National Park protects the largest portion of remaining native vegetation on the Fleurieu Peninsula, providing habitat for a diverse range of native wildlife, including western grey kangaroos, short-beaked echidnas and over 100 bird species. This gentle, family-friendly walk meanders through revegetated and remnant native bushland to the newly-built lookout and picnic area at Goondooloo Ridge, which offers spectacular views of Aaron Creek Valley, Backstairs Passage and Kangaroo Island. On a clear day, the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse can be seen on the island's easternmost point. Kangaroos can often be seen grazing in the open fields or resting under eucalypts along the way. The walk begins at the Goondooloo Ridge Day Visitor Area, which has picnic tables and accessible toilets. This walk consists of wide, gently undulating walking trails, with compacted natural surfaces, suitable for all fitness levels, as well as prams and wheelchair users with assistance. 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.
