Starting from the car park on Brown Hill Creek Road, Mitcham, this walk takes you on a circuit through Brownhill Creek Recreation Park. The Wirraparinga Trail meanders around the Brownhill Creek valley, taking in the Aboriginal people history, following the narrow creek as it flows through the steep-sided valley covered with majestic river red gums, some more than 300 years old. The loop is well signposted, and there are several picnic tables dotted throughout the park. The Shared-Use Trail is wheelchair accessible and suitable for prams. Some sections can be slippery in winter and after heavy rains. Take care on the creek crossings and where you share the road with traffic. 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.

Brown Hill Creek Circuit

5.9 km circuit

Brown Hill Creek Circuit

Starting from the car park at the end of Carrick Hill Drive, Springfield, this walk takes you up to Brown Hill and then aligns with Brownhill Creek before circling back to the start. The Brown Hill Creek Circuit offers stunning views of Adelaide city from the top of Brown Hill while also taking you through grassy open woodlands along the way. The creek itself is a highlight, rushing, burbling and providing refreshing scenery. Along the track, you might encounter a herd of cows, which are usually friendly and chill. However, this has a downside which is cow dung and flies. The downhill may be challenging for those with knee problems. After rainfall, it can get wet and muddy, especially around creek crossings. Despite these challenges, the beautiful scenery and views make the Brown Hill Creek Circuit worth the effort for many. 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.
