    I guess this isn't quite off the beaten path, but almost. The Chain of Ponds is situated in the Adelaide Hills region. I haven't been there myself, but I am told it is a beautiful vinyard area, with a real 'Tuscany' feel about it. You will find a Map of the region in my Travelogue. I think it is a great idea, when we are travelling to new places, to always visit the 'Tourist Information Center' They will always have 'Up to Date' information, and some even have Booking Facilities.

    The Adelaide Hills You must drive out there, just 20 minutes from Adelaide. There are acres of natural bushland, rows of vineyards and gorgeous gardens are just some of the diverse experiences on offer in the Adelaide Hills. The Adelaide Hills encapsulates the best that South Australia has to offer and is comprised of a number of sub regions or areas, namely the Mt Lofty area, the Norton Summit area, the Torrens Valley, the Onkaparinga Valley, Hahndorf and Mt Barker. It is very pretty out there.

    Adelaide Hills: Mt Osmond Reserve

    Featuring similar views to Mt Lofty, Mt Osmond reserve is located off the Mt Osmond turnoff on Princes Highway, Glen Osmond. This is really an off the beaten path location as the only place to park a car is in a fire truck entrance. Frequented mainly by cyclists and fitness fanatics, Mt Osmond provides more up-close views of Adelaide in a more picnic-like setting than Mt Lofty Summit. Driving to the reserve takes you past the houses of the well-heeled, who enjoy these views out of their windows. To find the reserve, take the Mt Osmond exit along Princes highway a short distance uphill from the Cross Road Intersection. Stay on Mt Osmond Road, turning right at Mt Osmond Golf Course, and follow the perimieter of the golf course until encountering a vehicle gate. Park here, being careful not to park on the "keep clear" section.

    The Adelaide Hills are unlike any other countryside in that it is so close to the city. So apart from the typical tourist spots like Hahndorf etc., if you have rentred a car, just take it for a spin around the countryside. You'd be suprised by what you will find. Small Cafes, Apple Pie Shop, Cherry gardens which are open for sale of fruits, B&Bs which are open for public viewing etc etc

    View from Brown Hill

    This hill was used as a "trig point" by Colonel William Light when surveying the original Adelaide plan. It is located in the suburb of Brown Hill Creek, and the hill can be ascended from Brownhill Creek Caravan park (not recommended) or from McElligotts Reserve on Carrick Hill Road. The start of the Carrick Hill Rd path looks like a private driveway as someone has built a house adjacent to it and has placed their letterbox (and bin) at the bottom. I first walked up Brown hill at night and found it fairly mild, not too strenuous as far as hill climbs go. I walked the next day and found it a lot psychologically tougher because the path looked very steep and long in front of me, and there were scores of flies constantly buzzing around my face. Walking during the cooler months is recommended. Also due to its location it might be busier than elsewhere, there were about 30 people coming the other way when I descended on some sort of hiking group. They were dressed in identical garb to me (hat, backpack, stick) and some (who didn't see me descend from the top) were looking at me like I was part of their group but had packed it in halfway up.

  • Upmarket suburb up on the eastern hills of Adelaide. Village lifestyle populated by pleasant civilised people. Almost like an English country garden. Tea and scones anyone?
