Just before Christmas, we brought our Singaporean relatives where no Singaporean tourist has ever been before. Our final destination was Narnu Farm on Hindmarsh Island, but enroute, we stopped by Deep Creek Conservation Park for a bit of sightseeing. It was as much an adventure for them as well as for me as I have never been there before and did not know what to expect.
Here we are at the park info bay where you self register your vehicle and pay the park fees. I let down my tyres here as I didn't know what to expect. With 8 passengers on board, the luggage had to go on the roof.
Park info board
We then came to a section where the road had big rocks to stop 2WD going past this point
This was then followed by a steep descent. I engaged low range and crawled down in 1st gear. We were then greeted with magnificent views.
We met the locals
And then more views
We reached the carpark at Blowhole Beach and took in more of the views
There was a long walk down to the beach
This was the only shelter we could find to have a picnic on a 40degC day
The beach was nice and clean
The kids had a heap of fun
And finally a shot from the beach into the park before the long climb back to the car and onto our next destination
When we got out of the park, I took out my air compressor to air up but the fuse blew after 1.5 tyres. The nearest petrol station did not have an air pump so we had to drive all the way to Encounter Bay to air up. I now have a few spare fuses courtesy of ARB Regency park.
