Adelaide Walkers & Joggers

Join us on Saturday afternoon for a walk followed by drinks and nibbles, if you choose, at the Edinburgh Hotel. Meet at McElligott's Quarry Reserve at the end of Carrick Hill Drive (not at Carrick Hill) near 48 Carrick Hill Drive, Mitcham. You can park along the road or in the reserve.
We will walk along the Yurrebilla trail in the grounds of Carrick Hill then through the University of Adelaide's Waite Reserve and around to the top of Willawilla (Brownhill) back down to where we started. The walk usually takes less than two hours. Dogs are not permitted.
This is a moderate hike with some steep bits, but mostly undulating. It is not recommended for those with bad knees or those who are not fit. There may be cattle along a portion of the walk. Total length is around 6 km. Bring water to drink and wear appropriate walking gear. If you bring a + 1, ensure that they are able to do this hike and understand the conditions of AW&J.

We're a welcoming community of walkers. Enjoy the well-being that comes from fresh air, exercise and good company.

Join us for a hike in Belair National Park, followed by coffee at the Escapegoat Goat Shed cafe (optional). We will meet at the gate in the car park next to the Caravan park.

The walk will start on the Lorikeet Loop then join the Adventure Loop after we pass Old Govt House. We will continue on this loop until it meets the RSL track, then will head to the Karka Picnic Grounds. Here we will take a short diversion along the Melville Track and visit Ampitheatre Rock, then we will return to the picnic grounds, go past Long Gully Oval (good emu spotting), on to Valley Drive and the Railway Dam lookout and back to our cars. The trail features rivers and creek crossings (via bridges), passes various historical sights inside South Australia's first National Park, with some great views and kangaroo and koala spotting.

Start from the Belair Caravan Park car park (at the gate to enter the park) and on to the Adventure trail.

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

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.
