Chambers Gully and Bartrill Spur Loop, Cleland. 9:00am - 11km
Details
Chambers Gully and Bartrill Spur Track loop. About 11 km and 487 m elevation gain.
The Chambers Gully Hike and Bartrill Spur hike is a 3 hour loop bushwalk through Cleland National Park. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, the trail combines some steep climbs with gentler sections. We will start on the Ridge Track, take a short spur to catch the views from Sugarloaf Hill, then back to the Ridge Track to pick up the Chambers Gully Walking Trail. This is a single file walking trail with steep edges, and may be slippery, but the views are well worth it. From here we join the Bartrill Spur Track back to Cleland and our cars. Lots of wildlife to see along the way, including kangaroos, echidnas, koalas and vast birdlife, not to mention some of the best views of Adelaide you can find.
Start at the Cleland Wildlife Park car park, meet outside the Barking Gecko Cafe.
Medium pace for reasonably fit hill hikers. Pace is about 4 kph up hills. Some steepish parts. Great views. Bring water, and good footwear.
Coffee afterwards at Cleland Wildlife Park cafe.
The pin is correct, but if in doubt, enter Barking Gecko Cafe in your GPS.
More detail if needed.
Go to Cleland Conservation & Wildlife Park car-park and park near the Reception & cafe entrance to the actual Wildlife Park.
The road to the Park entrance & car-park is off the main Mount Lofty Summit Road.
Look for large Cleland Conservation & Wildlife Park sign.
That entrance road is also known as Mt Lofty Summit Road and has a large sign showing Cleland Wildlife Park. It’s also got a small sign showing Gate 1.
If you put 365 Mount Lofty Summit Road Google maps will show the turn off from the main road to the smaller road to the car-park.
If you change your mind please change your attendance in meetup. To be fair to those on time we’ll only wait 5 mins for any latecomer.
