Belair Microcarpa and Lorikeet Loop Hike. 9:00am - 8km

Belair Microcarpa Hike and Lorikeet Loop Walk in Belair National Park.

From the carpark we will make our way to Playford Lake and join the Microcarpa Hike, then will take the Lorikeet Loop Walk back to our cars.

Generally considered an easy route, we will walk through one of the most diverse and best preserved woodland areas remaining in the Mount Lofty Ranges. Grey box woodland (Eucalyptus microcarpa) is an endangered ecosystem. Once common across Adelaide, clearing has reduced it to remnants in the Adelaide Hills. On the Lorikeet Loop we will wind our way past Old Government House and the State Flora Nursery plus the Adventure Playground. The trail is well signposted and well maintained with some elevation and water on the track after rain. Look out for kangaroos and koalas along the trail.

We’ll walk about 8 km and 84 m elevation.

Parking in campsite (old golf course) car park is free.

Exact map pin is shown.

Medium pace for reasonably fit hill hikers. Pace is about 4kph up hills. Bring water, and wear good footwear.

Coffee/brunch afterwards at the Escapegoat Goat Shed Bike Hire and Cafe.

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 latecomers.
