Starting from the car park near the Glenthorne Ranger Sta­tion off Majors Road, Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta, this walk takes you on a circuit around Glenthorne Farm. Located in Adelaide's southern suburbs, O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park, now part of Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta, consists mostly of grassy rolling hills with restored native vegetation that was formerly cleared for grazing. Walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and dogs are welcome in the park, which offers a large open space with an extensive network of fire tracks and shared-use trails. This gentle, family-friendly walk trail meanders around Glenthorne Farm, with interpretive signage providing an insight into the park's history and future plans. The farm has a rich historical past, having been home to South Australia's first police commissioner, then later used by the Australian Army as a training ground for its mounted forces before becoming an experimental food research facility. Since 2001, Glenthorne Farm has been owned by the University of Adelaide and is mostly used as a sheep farm. It is being cared for by the Friends of Glenthorne Farm, who focus on restoring the native vegetation. This loop consists of gently undulating fire tracks, with compacted 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.
