Starting from the Gate 1 car park on Ayliffe Road, St Marys, this walk takes you on a circuit within Shepherds Hill Recreation Park via the Ridge and Viaduct tracks. Shepherds Hill Recreation Park is a vast area of natural bushland adjoining the Waitparinga Reserve to the east and Saddle Hill Reserve to the north. It contains grey box woodlands on the hillsides and massive ancient gums along the Viaduct Creek. The area is a suburban goldmine, rich with native bird and plant life, sweeping views, and things to see and do. The Seaview Loop trail climbs steadily up hills to the south, rewarding you with panoramic views of the city, coastline and surrounding areas. This walk is popular with dog walkers and runners. The route is mainly on a wide fire trail, with some steep sections as you head towards the ridge. 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 Shepherds Hill Recreation Park carpark on Ayliffes Road, St Marys, this walk takes you on a circuit via the Viaduct Creek Trail and Viaduct Track. Explore the tracks, creeks, old railway tunnel and viaduct remains in Shepherds Hill Recreation Park and adjacent Watiparinga Reserve on this walk. The railway line viaduct and tunnel were built in 1883 as part of the Adelaide to Melbourne railway, and replaced by the current dual track embankment and tunnel in 1919. This hike takes you through scenic woodland of Grey Box trees, over a lush green grassy understorey dotted with brightly coloured wildflowers. The tracks are mainly wide and well-formed, with some narrow and slightly rocky sections. Be aware that the train tracks are active, and so is the open railway tunnel. The abandoned tunnel is just around the corner from the active one, and is boarded up and covered in colourful graffiti. 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.
