Starting from the car park at the end of Horsnell Gul­ly Road, Horsnell Gully, this walk takes you to Horsnell Gully Waterfall and back via the Waterfall Hike. Located in the Ade­laide Hills, Horsnell Gully Conservation Park features an exten­sive net­work of sign­post­ed walk­ing trails and is home to diverse native wildlife, including west­ern grey kan­ga­roos, koalas and short-beaked echidnas. The park was named after John Horsnell, once coachman to Governor Gawler, and contains relics of the Horsnell fam­i­ly prop­er­ty, includ­ing the remains of a large home­stead and its coach­ing sheds, sta­ble and cow­sheds. This short but challenging bushwalk meanders through forested valleys of river red gums and blue gums, following a small creek to Horsnell Gully Waterfall. Once the walk reaches the bot­tom of the water­fall, walkers can follow the steep and narrow trail to the top, which has a loose rocky surface that can be slippery in wet weather but offers rewarding views of the city of Adelaide peeking out between the tree-covered hills. This walk consists of narrow walk­ing trails, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, loose rocky surfaces, steep hills and creek crossings, suitable for moderate fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Gate 3 car park at the intersection of Matthews Road and Scott Creek Road, Dorset Vale, this walk takes you on a circuit around Scott Creek Conservation Park via the Stringybark, Mount Bold Ridge and Shingleback tracks. Scott Creek Conservation Park features some of the most diverse native vegetation in the Adelaide Hills, with dense stringybark forests, steep-sloped valleys and seasonal creeks that provide habitat for an abundance of birds and animals, including southern brown bandicoots, western grey kangaroos, koalas and ringtail possums. In spring, plenty of wildflowers can be seen dotted along the trails. This relatively easy and straightforward loop begins by entering the stringybark forest along the Bandicoot Track, then ascends steadily along the Stringybark Track, offering excellent views of the park. The next section is fairly flat and easy-going, following the Mount Bold Ridge Track alongside the road before descending along the Shingleback Track back to the car park. This loop consists of well-signposted fire tracks, with some uneven natural surfaces and short steep hills, suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Cleland Wildlife Park car park near the Barking Gecko Café off Mounty Lofty Summit Road, Cleland National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Lofty and back via the Steub Trail. Named in honour of park benefactor, Mr Ludwig Reinwald Steub, this trail is a gentler, more undulating alternative to the steep and popular trail from Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty, providing the option for visitors to walk or cycle from Cleland Wildlife Park to Mount Lofty. The trail climbs gently through heathy woodland forest communities, offering stunning views over the park's southern ridges and across the Adelaide Plains, ending at the Mount Lofty summit lookout, which provides panoramic views of the Adelaide city skyline and the coast beyond. The trail has a recycled asphalt surface and gentle, low-gradient access, making it an ideal option for families with kids and prams, the elderly or people with reduced mobility. Visitors can either leave a car at both ends, arrange a lift from the Mount Lofty car park or return via the same route. This walk consists of gently undulating shared-use trails, with some boardwalk sections, suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
