Deep Creek (Environmental Association 3.2.2)
A long elongated ridge of phyllite and greywacke with cliffs, or beaches and dunes along the coastline. The cover is predominantly open parkland over sown pastures with widespread remnants of woodland and forest. The open parkland and woodland is used for livestock grazing.
The views towards the south are background panoramic; the Great Australian Bight and beyond the Backstairs Passage, Kangaroo Island, form backgrounds. Inland views tend to be middleground panoramic, featuring grassy ridge crests and valley floors with bracken and reeds or remnant forest vegetation. The coastal scenery is dominate by steep frequently cliffed slopes, alternating with sandy beaches backed by areas of dunes covered with low scrub and heath.
