Telowie Gorge Conservation Park, Conservation park in Southern Flinders Ranges, Australia
Telowie Gorge Conservation Park is a protected area in the southern Flinders Ranges where a creek has carved a deep gorge through the mountain landscape. The gorge creates diverse landforms and supports both temperate and drier plant and animal communities.
The area was established as a protected park in 1972 to safeguard the natural landscape. In 2021, it became part of a larger integrated national park system.
The land carries deep meaning for Aboriginal peoples who have lived here and cared for these territories for thousands of years. Their connection to the landscape remains visible in how the place is experienced today.
The park sits roughly 240 kilometers south of Adelaide and is accessible by road. Several walking trails wind through the area, allowing visitors to explore the gorge at different difficulty levels.
The park supports a rare colony of yellow-footed rock-wallabies that live among its rocky outcrops. During winter months, the creek flows with seasonal water, creating temporary streams that reshape how the landscape appears throughout the year.
