Starting from the Stringybark Campground off Tapanappa Road, Deep Creek National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit through a remnant stringybark forest via the Forest Circuit 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 winds through a magnificent old-growth stringy­bark forest that forms a shady canopy above del­i­cate fungi, ferns and yakkas. Fogs frequently settle amongst the trees during late summer and autumn. The rem­nant stringy­barks pro­vide nest­ing hol­lows for a vari­ety of birds, such as yel­low-tailed black cock­a­toos and sulphur-crested cockatoos, and walkers may even spot an echidna along the way. The walk begins at the Stringy­bark Camp­ground, which is suitable for tents, car­a­vans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets, hot showers, picnic tables and fire pits. This loop consists of wide, gently undulating walking trails, with compacted natural surfaces, suitable for most 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.
