Starting from the Dev­ils Nose car park on Para Wirra Drive, Yattalunga, this walk takes you to the Dev­ils Nose Look­out and back via the Dev­ils Nose Hike. This moderately challenging hike winds along a ridge to the Dev­ils Nose Lookout in the northwestern end of Para Wirra Conservation Park, near the park's western boundary, offering sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The large sandstone rock formations known as the Dev­ils Nose developed from marine sediments laid down about 800 million years ago. The walk initially follows an easy, well-maintained fire track through native bushland, then continues along a narrow walking trail, with the terrain becoming rockier until reaching the Dev­ils Nose. From the lookout at the Dev­ils Nose, there are panoramic views of the Barossa Range, Gawler Dis­trict, South Para Gorge and Mis­ery Farm. In spring, there are colour­ful displays of wildflowers along the trail. The walk can be start­ed from either the Lake or Dev­ils Nose car parks. This walk consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating fire tracks and walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces and rocky sections, 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.
