Starting from the Minyon Falls car park on Minyon Drive, Whian Whian, this walk takes you on a circuit past the Minyon Falls Lookout, the base of Minyon Falls and the Minyon Grass Lookout via the Minyon Falls Walk. This moderately challenging loop initially follows a boardwalk to a wheelchair accessible lookout at the top of Minyon Falls, an impressive 100m high plunge waterfall located within Nightcap National Park. From there, the walk crosses Repentance Creek via stepping stones and follows the ridge through dry eucalypt forest, passing an optional side trip to Condong Falls, then descends into the gorge and continues through dense rainforest, passing small cascades and crystal clear creeks. The walk crosses Repentance Creek again before reaching a large pile of boulders, marked with orange triangles, which requires scrambling over to reach the base of Minyon Falls. After exploring the waterfall and swimming hole, walkers can continue to the Minyon Grass Lookout, which offers spectacular views across the rainforest towards the falls. The walk can also be started from the Minyon Grass car park and can be done as a loop by walking along Minyon Drive from one car park to the other. This loop consists of wide and narrow walking trails and unsealed roads, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, compacted gravel surfaces, boardwalk sections, rock scrambling sections, creek crossings, steep hills and steps, suitable for moderate fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park at the end of Point Peron Road, Peron, this walk takes you on a circuit around the coastline of Cape Peron. Cape Peron, known locally as Point Peron, is a coastal beauty and the headland at Rockingham Lakes Regional Park, just a few minutes drive from the city centre of Rockingham. The area is known for its protected sandy beaches, rugged limestone cliffs, offshore reefs and panoramic sea views, and is home to many different family-friendly trails. Cape Peron is surrounded by the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, which is home to bottlenose dolphins, Australian sea lions, loggerhead turtles and a variety of birdlife, including penguins. The calm and clear waters are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, fishing and kayaking, while the shoreline makes for some very scenic walks. Plenty of coves, beaches and viewpoints are present, along with WW2 ruins. Enjoy the coastal beauty of Cape Peron on a walk along its shores, or take the plunge to explore some of the underwater features of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. This is a relatively short walk, but the panoramic ocean views you'll get from almost every possible angle may prolong the time you'll spend. More if you decide to explore all the coves and lookouts. The walk can be considered easy and is mostly wheelchair-friendly. Dogs are allowed, as long as they're kept on a leash. Along the mainland foreshore of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, there are water stations, toilets, barbecues, picnic tables and several locations to purchase provisions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Gate 11 car park on Piggott Range Road, Onkaparinga Hills, this walk takes you on a circuit around Onkaparinga River National Park via the Nature Trail, Echidna Trail, Bakers Gully Track and Sundews Ridge Hike. This challenging hike combines several trails in the eastern end of Onkaparinga National Park, with spectacular views over the narrow river valley of Onkaparinga Gorge. The loop was designed to stay on the same side of the river, which is often difficult to cross. The park protects some of the finest remnant vegetation in the region, providing habitat for native wildlife such as birds, koalas, kangaroos, possums and echidnas. The hike initially follows the Nature Trail through regenerating pink gum and grey box woodlands, then heads along the Echidna Trail, passing the ruins of an old cottage and a side trip to a seasonal waterfall. The hike continues along the Bakers Gully Track, descending to the river before returning along the Nature and Echidna trails, then follows the Sundews Ridge Hike past the Sundews Lookout, which offers great views over the river. This loop consists of fire tracks and narrow walking trails, with some short steep hills and creek crossings, suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Walk

Starting from the Wilpena Pound Visitor Centre on Wilpena Road, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit around Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park via the Boom and Bust Loop. One of South Australia's most popular tourist destinations, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park is home to ancient rugged moun­tain ranges, dramatic gorges, peace­ful tree-lined creeks and abundant wildlife. This relatively short and easy loop initially follows a dirt road through the Pound Gap, following Wilpena Creek through tall river red gums and pines, then turns off onto the Mount Ohlssen Bagge Hike before looping back to the Pound Gap. In the early 1900s, sheep were raised and wheat was grown within the Pound, but the boom and bust cycle of flooding rains followed by drought put an end to cropping and eventually reduced sheep numbers below a profitable level. The walk features interpretive signage detailing how plants and animals in the area have adapted to survive these conditions, and in spring, there's an abundance of colour­ful native wildflowers. The walk can be extended to the summit of Mount Ohlssen Bagge, which involves a steep rocky climb and offers panoramic views of Wilpena Pound. This loop consists of narrow, gently undulating walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
