Three Habitat Walk

1.3 km circuit

15 min to 30 min

Three Habitat Walk

15 min to 30 min

Starting from the car park off Sturt Highway, Blanchetown, this walk takes you on a circuit within Brookfield Conservation Park via the Three Habitat Walk. Brookfield Conservation Park lies within a semi-arid plain of mallee, sugarwood and bluebush, providing a protected habitat for an abundance of birdlife and native animals, including wombats, kangaroos, dunnarts and emus. This short and easy walk follows a gently undulating loop through the park, with benches at each stop and interpretive signs explaining the habitats, allowing walkers to pause, take in the landscape and look out for wildlife. Early in the morning, southern hairy-nosed wombats can often be spotted venturing out to graze on dewy spear grasses. This loop consists of fairly flat dirt trails suitable for all fitness levels and can be done in either direction. Toilets are located at the picnic area near the car park. Dogs are not permitted in this park. 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.

Mannum Waterfalls from lower car park

2.4 km return

45 min to 1 h 30 min

Mannum Waterfalls from lower car park

45 min to 1 h 30 min

Starting from the Mannum Waterfalls lower car park on Cascade Road, Mannum, this walk takes you to the Mannum Waterfalls and back. Located to the southwest of Mannum, near the base of the eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, are the Mannum Waterfalls, consisting of large granite outcrops that rise from the plains around Reedy Creek to form several small cascades and rock pools. The falls are accessible from the lower car park, which has picnic facilities, toilets and ample parking, meandering along the creek gully past interesting granite rock formations, with good opportunities for spotting native birds and animals. This walk consists of gently undulating walking trails, with some creek crossings and uneven rocky terrain, suitable for moderate fitness levels. The falls are best seen in winter, when heavy rain fills the creeks, and can also be accessed from the upper car park, which makes for a shorter but steeper walk. 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.
