Spring Gully Conservation Park has the only Red Stringybark Woodland in South Australia. This merges into Long-leafed Box Low Woodland on the more rugged slopes. From Blue Gum Lookout take a walk through grassy woodlands to a seasonal waterfall that plunges from a height of 18 metres after rain. Many parrots, kookaburras and smaller birds make their home in Spring Gully. Common species include Crimson Rosella, Laughing Kookaburra, Yellow-faced Honeyeater, Striated Pardalote, Buff-rumped Thornbill, Grey Shrikethrush and White-winged Chough. Less common species include Painted Buttonquail, Crested Pigeon, Rainbow Bee-eater, Inland Thornbill and Red-capped Robin.
