Starting from the Boatshed Café car park off Heron Way, Hallett Cove, this walk takes you on a circuit around Hallett Cove Conservation Park. Located in Adelaide's southern suburbs, Hallett Cove Conservation Park is a geological and archaeological site of international significance, containing evidence of an Australian ice age roughly 280 million years ago, as well as over 1,700 Abo­rig­i­nal artefacts. The glacial pavement at the top of Black Cliff, as well as the meltwater sediments, are recognised as the best record of Permian Age glaciation in Australia. This hike explores the unique environment along this section of Adelaide's coastline, with interpretative signage detailing the area's cultural and geological heritage. The hike initially follows a wheelchair-accessible bitu­men path to Black Cliff Look­out, then continues along a boardwalk before following a trail up into the cliffs, where walkers may spot the flowers of Christmas bushes and dryland tea trees. Towards the end, the hike winds around the geological formation known as the Sugarloaf, named for its resemblance to a mass of hard refined sugar. This loop consists of wide, gently undulating walking trails, with bitumen surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, boardwalks and steps, 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.

Starting from the Lake car park at the end of Lake Road West, Yattalunga, this walk takes you on a circuit around the Lake within Para Wirra Conservation Park and along Wild Dog Creek via the Hissey Hike. This moderately easy loop initially meanders around the lake in the central section of Para Wirra Conservation Park, one of the park's most pop­u­lar areas, located near the West Gate entrance, then continues along the shad­ed val­ley of Wild Dog Creek before returning to the lake. The track is named after the Hissey family, who farmed the area before the park was established. Along the way, there are scenic views over the lake's calm water, which reflects the sur­round­ing bush­land, as well as glimpses into the valley of Wild Dog Creek. A wide variety of waterbirds and bush birds can be seen around the lake, making it an excellent spot for birdwatching. Picnic tables and barbecue facilities are available near the trailhead, set in nat­ur­al bush­land overlooking the lake. This loop consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking tracks and shared-use trails, with compacted gravel surfaces, compacted natural surfaces and uneven natural surfaces, 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.

Starting from the Boatshed Café car park at the end of Heron Way, Hallett Cove, this walk takes you on a circuit around Hallett Cove Conservation Park. This scenic family-friendly loop explores Hallett Cove Conservation Park, an area of geological and archaeological significance, protecting some of the earliest evidence of glaciation and Aboriginal settlement in Australia. The park also has a beach for swimming and fishing, as well as several lookouts with stunning coastal views and interpretive signs detailing the area's history, geology, sea life and Aboriginal and European heritage. The walk initially follows a bitumen path to Black Cliff Lookout, then heads along a boardwalk across Waterfall Creek, passing a side trip to the Shore Platform. Once the boardwalk ends, the walk turns inland and climbs towards Second Street, then follows a wide fire track past the Shepherd's Hut Ruins. After crossing the creek again, the walk continues towards Tornado Avenue, and then descends back to the car park. This loop consists of gently undulating bitumen paths, boardwalks and fire tracks, with many steps and some short steep hills, suitable for average fitness levels. The first section leading up to the lookout near Waterfall Creek is suitable for prams and wheelchairs, but beyond that is a series of steps. Dogs are not permitted in this park. 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.
