Coorong National Park One Hour and Fifteen Minute Tour
Highlights
- Depart from Strathalbyn and experience breathtaking views along Lake Alexandrina's western shore.
- Discover the tranquil wetland lagoons of Coorong, alive with diverse marine and bird life.
- Soar over the Younghusband Peninsula's stunning sand dunes, stretching endlessly along the coast.
- Spot emus traversing the dunes and explore ancient Ngarrindjeri shell middens from above.
Departing from Strathalbyn we head south along the western shore of Lake Alexandrina passing over the townships of Milang and Clayton en-route to the Murray Mouth.
We then head south east to discover the natural beauty of the Coorong National Park.
The calm wetland lagoons of the Coorong are teaming with marine and bird life which is protected from the relentless crashing waves of the Southern Ocean by a 100 kilometre long narrow strip of spectacular sand dunes known as the Younghusband Peninsula. The peninsula appears to stretch as far as the eye can see.
The absence of roads and the shallow depth of the Coorong have acted as a natural barrier to European settlement of this pristine coastal strip.
As we fly over the dunes you will easily pick out emus making their way over the sand hills and also witness the shell middens which mark many generations of Ngarrindjeri occupation of this area.
