I have visited Cleland Wildlife Park with my family in the past to cuddle with koalas and feed the wallabies. In addition to these activities, the park also offers various trails for exploration. During my visit, we opted for the moderate Steub trail that leads from Cleland to Mount Lofty. Although the trail has an elevation gain of 698, it is not particularly steep.
The Cleland Wildlife Reserve can be reached by bus and has designated parking areas. The trail to the top of Mount Lofty is a relatively short hike, taking only 1-2 hours to complete over a distance of 4.4 miles (7.08 km). This trail was recently opened to provide an easy option for families with children and seniors who want to reach the peak of Mount Lofty.
Upon arriving at Mount Lofty, you will be able to take in a spectacular view of the city and enjoy various amenities such as a tourist shop and restaurant.
As we descended, we followed a familiar path that twisted like a snake and got to witness various types of wildlife and plants.
Furthermore, we encountered hikers who had suffered injuries and received prompt emergency assistance along the way.
It is essential to always be prepared and cautious while hiking, as accidents can occur unexpectedly,
