Kaiki Walk, Granite Island Circuit
South Australia
The 1.9km walk around Granite Island is a great way for people, including families with children and strollers, to discover the island.
Begin the walk in Victor Harbor, by crossing the causeway. Horse drawn trams operate across the causeway, providing a new experience for children.
The trailhead is on the island, just after the causeway reaches the island.
Discover more about the wildlife, geology and history of the island with the interpretive signs along the trail. Explore granite boulders including Umbrella Rock, and take in the views of Encounter Bay, the Bluff, islands and whales. Return at night time to see the Little Penguins, or visit the Penguin Interpretive Centre during the day.
Causeway 700 metres one way
Kaiki Walk 1.9km loop
For parents with prams we suggest walking anti-clockwise, which is to turn sharp right after leaving the the causeway. There is a long flight of steps at the other end of the trail, but this is easily avoided by taking the shortcut gravel ramped path from the top of the island. There are no other steps on the circuit trail. The trail may be too steep for some people using prams and it may be easier to return via the way you came.
The causeway and road to the kiosk is accessible to people using wheelchairs and prams.

Deep Creek Waterfall Hike from Tent Rock Road (Trig Campsite)
South Australia
Enjoy a hike down to Deep Creek Waterfall. Although the waterfall generally only flows in winter and after rains, the waterhole is permanent. The trail is well graded with steps towards the end.
In June 2016 the trail was upgraded with an improved better graded trail, which starts from the car park at the entrance to Trig Campsite, on Tent Rock Road.

Waterfall Gully to Mt Lofty summit hike
South Australia
This popular walk is short and sweet. With a cafe at each end, a well made path and regular seating, this walk is popular for a reason.
On almost any morning of the year the trail attracts a range of people: some casually walking, others using it as a training walk, some runners, and others with heavy-simulated packs training for distant hiking locations like Nepal. As the walk involves some steep sections, the time taken to walk the trail can vary significantly.
On a busy weekend, car parking at Waterfall Gully can be limited.
Starting hiking from Mt Lofty instead of Waterfall Gully can be a good way to use the downhill as a warm up, to super charge your up-hill efforts.

Mt Barney - Up Logan's Ridge Down SE Ridge
Mt Barney National Park
Very challenging route up Mt Barney with some technical rock climbing required. You must have some decent scrambling experience and a high level of fitness. Whist there is some exposure it is the technical climbing that is the most challenging. Allow plenty of time and plenty of water and if in doubt (as we were numerous times) just stick to centre of the ridge. There are times where you have to rely on your boots for grip so make sure you are comfortable with you choice of footwear. I recommend a day pack only with this route as there are several sections where you need to haul yourself over ledges that would be almost impossible with a full pack. I rate the SE ridge as a 5 and Logan's ridge as a 9 in terms of difficulty. Take this on board and give it a go :)

Thunderbolts Hideout
New South Wales
Fred Ward (1835 - 1870), better known as Captain Thunderbolt, was the longest roaming bushranger in Australia’s history. He was very familiar with the Tenterfield region, using it as both a hideout and hunting ground for his hold-ups. The large area between the rocks was used to stable horses and the small shelter under the large rock was a great place to camp. The top of the rock made an ideal lookout, as this was the main road to Warwick during the gold-mining days.
