What to expect

Netherby Spur and Harold’s Lookout via Yurrebilla and Wild Dog Glen is a 5.5 km loop trailstarter/twilight summer walk.

We will walk through Waite Conservation Reserve, climbing up the side of Wyllie Hill, then following the Yurrebilla Trail and Old Coach Road along with other short tracks.

This hike is considered moderately challenging with some steep climbs and takes between 1.5 – 2 hrs to complete. This hike provides some stunning views of Adelaide City and surrounding suburbs.

We will go to the Edinburgh Hotel after the walk.

BIOSECURITY MEASURES – Please ensure you thoroughly clean your footwear, clothing, walking poles and other equipment before and after each walk to remove all seeds, dirt and other debris. Removed seeds should be bagged and disposed in a ‘to landfill’ garbage bin.
