Starting from the Blue Gum Lookout car park at the intersection of Saw Mill Road and Spring Gully Road, Spring Gully, this walk takes you on a circuit around Spring Gully Conservation Park via the Western Boundary, Observation, Ridgetop, Wymans and Cascades tracks. Spring Gully Conservation Park features some of the region's most picturesque native landscapes and is the only reserve in South Australia to contain the red stringybark tree. The park is home to many animals and birds, and in spring, there's an abundance of wildflowers and orchids in bloom. This hike initially descends along Spring Gully Road through the Skilly Hills before climbing along the Western Boundary and the Observation tracks. Further ahead, the hike follows the Ridgetop Track, offering expansive views of the Adelaide Plains, then heads through grassy woodlands along the Wymans and Cascades tracks, passing a lookout above a small seasonal waterfall. This loop consists of well-signposted fire tracks and walking trails, suitable for average fitness levels, with some uneven surfaces and moderately steep sections. 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.
