Starting from the Gate 1 car park on White­head Road, Mylor, this walk takes you on a circuit around Mylor Conservation Park via the Sword Sedge Trail. This moderately short and easy loop takes walkers around Mylor Conservation Park, providing good birdwatching opportunities and an insight into the native vegetation of the Adelaide Hills. The walk follows a sec­tion of the Hey­sen Trail, which runs through the park. Significant for its rich biodiversity, the park is connected to several other areas of remnant bushland by veg­e­ta­tion cor­ri­dors, with most of the sur­round­ing region being cleared for housing and farmland. The park is mostly open stringybark woodland, with a wide range of understorey plants, and is home to many bird species. These species include Adelaide rosellas, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, white-throated treecreepers and Australian golden whistlers, as well as west­ern grey kan­ga­roos and koalas. This loop consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for most 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.
