Toll Gate Circuit

2 km circuit

Toll Gate Circuit

45 min to 1 h 15 min

Starting from the car park at the corner of Gill Terrace and the South Eastern Freeway (near the Old Tollgate), Glen Osmond, this circuit walk lets you see the Glen Osmond mine chimney, mostly via the Old Toll Gate Access Track and Mt Osmond Fire Track. The Toll Gate Circuit is a picturesque walking track at the city's southeastern corner, offering stunning views of the city itself and the ocean. The journey takes visitors beyond the Glen Osmond mine chimney and through Danthonia Reserve, where they can see the stone chimney, which was the flue for a smelter located north of the adit. Along the way, hikers can enjoy the lush greenery and may even spot a koala. The track is well-signed and has numbered checkpoints. It is also a part of the Burnside Walks network. However, visitors should be careful of cars while walking along Gill Terrace, as a big part of the road doesn't have a footpath next to it. 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 Hayward Drive, Glen Osmond, Beaumont Circuit (D) winds through the hills of Mount Osmond Reserve via mostly the Pioneer Women's Trail, following a series of narrow switchbacks up a steep hill. The well-contoured trail offers stunning views of the city and the Adelaide Plains, with heaps of wildflowers on the side. Along Caithness Avenue, walkers can see a plaque marking the first commercial quarry mined in 1838 to construct the current Supreme Court of South Australia. The trail is marked with large street signs and shared with mountain bikes. Dogs are allowed on lead. However, there are some vandalised or missing trail markers within Mount Osmond Reserve, so walkers should pay attention to stick to the trail.

Pioneer Women's Trail

6 h, 10 h to 2 days

3 h to 5 h 30 min

Starting from the Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden on Mount Barker Road, Hahndorf, this walk takes you to Beaumont via the Pioneer Women's Trail. Experience the amazing journeys undertaken by the Prussian Lutheran women and girls who walked from Hahndorf to Adelaide, carrying fresh produce for the hungry townsfolk during the early years of European settlement. The Pioneer Women's Trail honours these women, for they were instrumental in saving the young colony of South Australia from starvation. The walk follows country roads, laneways and bush tracks through a beautiful section of the Adelaide Hills, passing historic buildings, deciduous trees and native bushland, with interpretive signs detailing the area's history along the way. The walk initially crosses the Onkaparinga River before joining the official trail at Verdun, then winds through Bridgewater and follows Cox Creek past the historic Old Bridgewater Mill. After traversing Mount George Conservation Park, the trail passes the Stirling Golf Club and heads through Stirling, a picturesque village with many cafés, restaurants and boutique shops. The trail continues through Crafers and Cleland Conservation Park, then follows the Old Bullock Track, emerging to stunning city views before descending to the historic Beaumont House. This walk consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails, fire tracks and roads, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces and sealed surfaces, suitable for moderate fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. 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.
