Starting from the Sundews Trails (Gate 11) car park on Piggott Range Road, Onkaparinga Hills, this walk takes you across the Onkaparinga River via the Onkaparinga Gorge Link Trail. This moderately challenging walk initially follows a wide fire track along Sundews Ridge at the eastern end of Onkaparinga River National Park, then descends into the gorge and crosses the Onkaparinga River. The walk continues following the fire track for another kilometre, offering views over nearby vineyards before emerging at Gate 20 on Chapel Hill Road, from where the walk can also be started. Cycling is also permitted on this trail. The descent and ascent in and out of the gorge are steep and may be slippery after rains, and the river is often impassable during wet periods. This walk consists of wide fire tracks with compacted natural surfaces, steep hills and river crossings, and is suitable for moderate 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.
