TOUR DETAILS
A unique nature-based experience - Morialta is part of the traditional
lands of the Kaurna people and derives its name from the aboriginal word ‘Morialta’
meaning ever flowing! The waterfalls, gorges and 500 hectares of natural
bushland in Morialta have provided a popular escape for locals over the past
100 years. This tour provides an active and immersive experience that enriches
the understanding of nature and the importance of looking after it.
Bushwalking wilderness - start your morning adventure along the
Morialta walking trails as the bush wakes from its night slumber. As you follow
the trails, discover amazing rock faces, gorges and seasonal waterfalls.
Witness the dawn colours bounce on the spectacular rugged vistas and capture
the sense of nature while discovering the natural wonders of this national
reserve.
Admire native animals in the wild - Morialta is the best place in
Adelaide where you can see koalas in the wild! It offers a unique biodiversity
where many native animals can be spotted including the occasional kangaroo or
echidna. The creeks, rock pools and the higher slopes of the Gorge offer a
perfect habitat to several species of frogs and small lizards such as geckos,
skinks, and dragons.


Visit all three waterfalls - the seasonal waterfalls along Fourth
Creek are one of the best known features of the park. Morialta Falls and Second
Falls are the grandest, each cascading over sheer quartzite cliffs. Nestled at
the end of the trail is the less visited but most tranquil Third Falls – be
stunned by its peaceful and natural setting and take the time to listen to the
softly cascading water.
See amazing birdlife and wildflowers - listen to the sounds and observe the
many native birds such as the Superb Fairy-wren, rare Golden Whistler, Rainbow
Lorikeet and the iconic Laughing Kookaburra. Use the supplied binoculars and be
amazed by how many species you can discover. Every winter and spring the park
is abundant with native wildflowers including many delicate and colourful
orchid species.
