The road
The Mylor to Kangarilla stage covers the southern reaches of the Adelaide Hills challenge, taking in the Onkaparinga Valley wine country before descending to Kangarilla on the southern fringe of the hills. The 14-kilometre route is more pastoral than the northern stages - vineyard views, sheep paddocks, and smaller private properties alongside the road. Mylor is best known in South Australia for its proximity to Belair National Park and the historic Belair railway station. The road south through the Onkaparinga Valley is quieter and less frequently driven than the northern hills stages, which makes it a better driving experience despite the gentler character. Kangarilla sits at the northern edge of the McLaren Vale wine region, which makes the end of this stage a natural transition into one of Australia's best shiraz regions.
