Lorikeet loop is a great first walk to take trough Belair National Park. Being around a 1.5 hour walk (3km) that is relatively flat, it is a great walk for dog walking, jogging, wildlife spotting.

One of our favourite walks in South Australia’s Belair National Park is the Waterfall Hike. It is 3 hours (6.5km circuit) and is a fairly moderate hike. Surrounded in shrubs, with plenty of wildlife this walk is truly amazing. Keep your eyes up in the trees and you’ll be sure to spot a handful of koalas.

Lunch

Just need to keep an eye open (and an Instagram filter ready).
