Adelaide Weekend Day Trips: Morialta Falls

Morialta Falls is a surprising change in landscape that is only a 20 minute bus ride from the city (check the schedules here: http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/guides/bestplaces/AdHills.html) - it is host to a few waterfalls and amazing tree covered rock terrain.

The first waterfall is very accessible; there are two car parks, one inner carpark that is about 15-20 minutes from the first waterfall. It is best to visit in the wintertime (when it's rainy) to see the waterfalls. In summer, it's bone dry. Once you are bored of the first waterfall (believe me, it's nice up close, but you want to explore more of the park....), take one of the trails and travel a few hundred metres up......



AWESOMENESS!!!!

At magic hour, you get some of the most amazing colors. You have to be there to experience it.



Remember that this is a trail, so bring along proper clothing, water and a small amount of food. You have to be out of the park to catch the 6pm bus, else you will have to wait till 7 for the next one (as we found out. Brr.... cold...)
