Starting from the car park at the entrance to Black Hill Conservation Park on Gorge Road, Athelstone, this walk takes you on a circuit around Black Hill Conservation Park via the Ambers Gully Hike. This short and moderately challenging hike explores the rugged hilly landscapes of Ambers Gully in Black Hill Conservation Park, offering excellent views along the way. The trail initially passes Ambers Ruin, the historic remains of a local shepherds cottage, before ascending steadily towards the frozen waterfall, a rare tufa rock formation with a small cave. The trail continues climbing above the waterfall, then follows the Ambers Gully Track up the rugged slopes and cliff faces of the Sugarloaves, offering panoramic views towards Adelaide and the Gulf of St. Vincent. This loop consists of narrow walking tracks, gravel trails and fire tracks, with some short steep hills and rocky surfaces. 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.
