Gandys Gully

It's been awhile since I have walked with the Thursday evening group, this time it was over to Gandys Gully.

Good hiking, lots of tracks I have never been on before, this is an area I have only done a couple of short walks in. Good, steep hills, lots of blackberries in season.

Montacute Conservation Park

A short but steep hike, a good test of hills-fitness.

Update 2016: You can also view this hike, with photos and a map, on Walking SA's Find a Place to Walk directory.

It's only a month until our next instalment in the Beyond the Heysen trek, eight days hiking from Arkaroola to Mt Hopeless - the northern end of the Flinders Ranges. Good to know the hills are still quick and easy.



This hike is from 50 Real Bushwalks Around Adelaide by the late George Driscoll. It is hike number 42, titled 'ead for the 'ills - for whatever crazy reason.

Mylor to Aldgate circuit

A great half-day circuit, much of it within reserves, reserves I had no idea existed.

Mylor to Aldgate circuit

I had seen this walk on Everytrail by HeysenBarry. The photos showed a lot of reserve walking, I couldn't quite figure out how, but true enough, after following his GPS trace into a small path off of Stock Road, we were led through a long, peaceful reserve - the Valley of the Bandicoots (and more here) A few other dirt tracks, side roads, and then back along the Heysen Trail to Mylor. A good loop.
