Starting from the car park on Allendale Road, Barossa Goldfields, this walk takes you on a circuit around the Barossa Goldfields via the Victoria Hill Circuit. Para Wirra Conservation Park is home to the historic Barossa Goldfields mining area, where gold was first discovered in 1868, with several walking trails exploring the old gold mine sites. Victoria Hill Circuit is the shortest walk and explores the former mine workings of Victoria Hill, passing through pink gums, golden wattles and native pines. Interpretive signs along the way provide information about mine shafts, mine workings and the former town that was once here. The trail also passes the historic Bowden's Cottage, which has a collection of mining displays, as well as a picnic area, shelter and toilets. This loop consists of well-marked, gently undulating walking trails, suitable for most fitness levels. There are several open mine shafts in the area, but most are well-fenced. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash. 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.
