Starting from the Gate 9 car park on Lower North East Road, Vista, this walk takes you on a circuit around Anstey Hill Recreation Park via the Geological Hike Track. This short and easy walk explores the quarries and trails near the geological feature known as 'The Gun Emplacement', a preserved remnant of ancient landscape materials in the southwestern corner of Anstey Hill Recreation Park. A short detour takes walkers past the former quarry operated by the Klopper family in the 19th century, used as a venue for the Festival of Arts in 1980 and 1988. Further along the track, there are good views over the Adelaide Plains and the city. The track is clear and easy to follow, with interpretive signage detailing the environment and local history. The Geological Hike is reserved for walkers only, bikes are not permitted. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash. 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.
