Regional Highlights

  • Thorndon park
    Thorndon Park is a delightful watery hideaway. Whether picnicing with the family, walking the dog around the perimeter trail, or simply enjoying the abundant bird life, this picturesque reserve and reservoir is a real treasure often missed in Adelaide's east.
  • Morialta Conservation Park 
    In Morialta Conservation Park, just 12 kilometres to the east of the city, Fourth Creek has left its unique mark on the landscape in the shape of deep wooded gorges and a trail of tumbling waterfalls. A walk along the creek to the falls remains the park highlight. Bird life abounds, with a chance of seeing herons, fairy-wrens and rosella parrots. Other areas of the park are designated for rock-climbing and abseiling. 
  • Penfolds Wines, Magill Estate 
    Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold planted his first Shiraz vines here in 1844. Overlooking Adelaide, the refurbished and iconic estate today remains a working winery and houses a five-star restaurant. Penfolds Grange is considered Australia's greatest red wine, so why not taste other great reds that have originated from these aged Shiraz vines? Tours of Penfolds historic winery take place daily between 11a and 3p. Penfolds wines are distributed worldwide.
