Exploring the Bushland Beyond Carrick Hill

Enjoy a gentle guided walk through the native bushland of Carrick Hill, one of Adelaide's favourite historic properties, where every path has a story to tell.

Along the way, your knowledgeable Trees For Life guide will reveal the bushland's hidden treasures and explain how partnerships with local community groups are helping this special landscape thrive.

Discover why this unique ecosystem is so important, learn how invasive species such as feral olives threaten native vegetation, and hear about the practical restoration work that is bringing balance back to this precious patch of bushland.

This walk requires a moderate level of fitness. The route includes a short, steep incline and uneven ground. Some bending may be required to view the unique plants on site.

Children aged 17 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This activity is best suited to people aged 13 years and over.

Please wear or bring:

• A hat, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt

• Sturdy boots or walking shoes with good grip

• Drinking water and a light snack

• Sunscreen and insect repellent

Safety glasses will be provided to protect your eyes while walking through the bushland.
