Join Leonie on this beautiful hike down from Mt Lofty through Cleland Conservation Park and towards Summertown on well maintained, wide tracks and roads.
It is suitably for moderately fit walkers but please note there are definitely some steep hill sections.
This hike combines a number of well known tracks in the park to create a unique experience as we head towards the Aviation towers .
We will begin on the Waterfall Gully Track before joining the Chinaman’s Hut Track and Lodge Track before turning onto the winding Wine Shanty track which we will follow for some time before eventually hitting the Pill Box track and heading towards Ridge Rd and on to the Aviation Towers which are our lunch and turn around point.
Please note: We will be walking approximately 500m along Ridge Rd and we ask that you please wear a fluorescent vest or tie something bright your back pack for their safety.
Once we return to the Mt Lofty Summit, stay on for a chat, coffee & cake (own expense) at the Summit Café
The day may start a little cool & foggy but will warm up on the hillsides so please remember to layer your clothes so you can adjust as needed.
Parking is available in the summit carpark for $2 a day or there is a bus stop if you prefer
● A good chance of seeing koalas as well as echidnas, kangaroos and bandicoots

Beautiful hike, lovely company and yummy morning tea 👍
A really lovely walk down to the falls and across the bridge. Great spot for a Beautiful morning tea, made and carried in by our AWesome guides. A really lovely Sunday.
A really enjoyable experience! The ladies were so welcoming and helpful. I really felt part of the group straight away even though it was my first walk.
I love having the gorgeous photos from the day to look back on from the talented photographers in the group! The guides were helpful for so knowledgeable. I will be back for more!

GREAT TOUR, there were so many highlights and they were well organised. Well worth the early rises to get to the special places early to enjoy the serenity without too many other tourist.
Excellent from start to finish. I loved it.
What a lovely day out. The weather was just about perfect. Cool (not hot) and no rain.
I have done this walk before and I enjoyed the second time just as much as the first time. Jazzy had so much info about the places we were passing. She definitely puts the effort in to keep us informed about our own “Backyard”…..
Very much enjoyed my first walk with Adventurous Women. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I'm really looking forward to the next one.
