As part of the 2025 History Festival a guided walking tour of Brownhill Creek Recreation Park.

The park’s narrow creek flows through a steep sided valley with majestic river red gums, (some more than 300 years old). This area was once a favourite camping, hunting and gathering ground for the Kaurna Aboriginal People.

Large river red gums line Brownhill Creek while blue gum woodland climbs the valley slopes. The park also supports a small, threatened, ecosystem of grey box grassy woodland. Today, this 51-hectare park offers an escape from the city and includes a horse trail and fenced horse exercise area.
