Starting from the Gawler View picnic area off Para Wirra Drive, Yattalunga, this walk takes you on a circuit past the Knob Lookout via the Para Wirra Scenic Loop. This moderately challenging loop winds through natural bush­land past the Knob Lookout at the northern end of Para Wirra Conservation Park, which offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and across to the Devils Nose. The walk initially follows the Knob Lookout Track through blue and pink gum wood­land, descending steeply before wind­ing along Scenic Drive to the Knob Lookout, located at the top of the small rounded hill of the Knob. After leaving the lookout, the walk continues along Scenic Drive, offering excellent views of the South Para River gorge before returning to the Gawler View Pic­nic Area. Cycling is also permitted on this trail. Walkers should note that the Scenic Drive section is an unsealed road shared with vehicles. The trail can also be started from the car park at the end of Para Wirra Drive. This loop consists of wide fire tracks, sealed roads and unsealed roads, with compacted natural surfaces, bitumen surfaces and short steep hills, suitable for average fitness levels. 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.
