Cape Jervis - Places to See

Deep Creek Conservation Park

Located 120 km south of Adelaide and 8 km south of Delamere and east of Cape Jervis, Deep Creek Conservation Park is a 4030 hectare park. It is an interesting combination of steep cliffs, waterfalls, bush and coast inhabited by western grey kangaroos, blue wrens, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, wedge-tailed eagles and scarlet robins.

Talisker Conservation Park
Turn onto Range Rd between Delamere and Cape Jervis. This is a small 134 hectare park which contains the ruins of an old silver-lead mine.

The Heysen Trail
The justifiably famous Heysen Trail - a walking track from here to the Flinders Ranges - starts at Cape Jervis. If you want to experience South Australia in all its variety there can be no better way.

Rapid Bay
Rapid Bay is a beautiful stretch of coastline which lies to the north of Cape Jervis and is characterised by a pebbly beach, a jetty and rocky headlands. There are excellent walks along the cliffs and the waters in the bay are good for both fishing and skindiving. The area offers squid, tommy ruff, yellowtail kingfish, red mullet, sea mullet, whiting, barracouta, salmon and garfish, amongst others. The nearby Second Valley Jetty is also good for tommy ruff, garfish and squid. Local tourist information is available from the foreshore kiosk, tel: (08) 8598 0011.
