Belair National Park | South Australia

Blue Tongued Lizard (Skink)

Er... random berries?

Belair National park is about a half hour train ride from Adelaide. A bunch of us decided to take the longer 6km Waterfall Hike around the park to check out the Echo Tunnel, Lower and Upper falls. Being summer, it was not unexpected to see the lack of water in the falls. The hike itself only presented 1 moderately difficult section. The rest of it was generally easy going. Compared to the Waterfall Gully, this is considered a cakewalk!

There is a really nice lake with several types of water fowl hanging around the edge, I assuming hoping for feed from people. There was a high section of the trail that presented tons of koalas. We counted twelve koalas, and probably even more hidden in the trees. Spectacular!

It was a good walk, and I look forward to doing the Mount Lofty botanic gardens soon.
