Brownhill Creek Loop

Back to Walk Calendar
This event has passed.

What to expect

More commonly known as Wabbit, this loop is 9.5 kms with 350 mts climbing. Estimated time is 2.5 kms at a reasonable pace. There are some steep descents, so good hiking shoes are essential.

The hike goes over sections of the Yurrebilla Trail through Waite, with great views over Adelaide. We often come across cattle in open space, but don’t let that put you off, they are friendly.

Bring a head lamp, just in case the sun starts to set. 

For those who would like dinner afterwards, we can go to the Ed  1/7 High Street Mitcham. Please let me know so I can book.

 

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.

These walks are only for when it is not walk season. The walks are generally 1.5 to 2 hours mostly on Wednesday evenings, meeting at 6pm, followed by a meal, close to Adelaide. With increasing popularity of walks some may be in the morning with variable meeting times and longer than the evening walks.

These walks are for those who

  • wish to maintain their fitness outside the walking season,
  • may not be regular walkers,
  • have not walked in a group previously, or
  • want a shorter walk.

Anyone undertaking these walks may have only a modest degree of physical fitness. However read the walk description as some walks may be longer and more strenuous than others.
