klm south-east of Adelaide, the Dukes Highway town of Keith is at the centre
of a region which was once damned with the name Ninety Mile Desert. Thanks
to good husbandry, plant nutrition and modern farming techniques it has been
transformed into Coonalpyn Downs. Jewel in the town’s crown is the central
church. Built in 1910, the old church buildings features 11 locally made and
designed leadlight windows which trace the town’s history and development.
Just off the Adelaide-Melbourne highway, Circlework is a water feature created
by artist James Darling to celebrate the vital cycle of water through the
Australian landscape. A short drive to the north takes you to 28,000ha Mount
Rescue Conservation Park which protects a large sandplain sprinkled with pink
gums, heath and a variety of wildlife.
To the south of town, Mt Monster Conservation Park presents panoramic views
of the region. Four-wheel drive enthusiasts will be in their element among
the mallee fowl, rufous-crowned emu-wrens, western grey kangaroos, dragon
lizards and company in the vast, 270,150ha Ngarkat Conservation Park
