Adelaide
Adelaide is the capital of South Australia with a population of 1.3 million. It is located by the sea and surrounded by hills and wine regions and is therefore an ideal gateway for many outdoor activities. The “festival city” offers a lot of events and entertainment, ranging from culture to sports.
There are lots of things to do in Adelaide. Here we list some possibilities. If you want more information or further tips or request an organisation of a trip, please contact Sabrina (sabrina.einecke@adelaide.edu.au).

Hiking in Morialta Conservation Park
Enjoy the rugged ridges, gully scenery and seasonal waterfalls that make up Morialta Conservation Park. The three waterfalls along Fourth Creek are popular features of the park and are linked by an extensive network of walking trails. The views from the rock climbing zone also provide opportunities to admire Morialta Gorge and the nearby Adelaide plains.
The first two falls are the grandest, each cascading over sheer quartzite cliffs after rain. To see the falls at their best, visit the park during spring or winter when the water flow is strongest. For wildlife lovers, the park's rock pools and creeks provide habitat for small reptiles, frogs and birds. Watch out for honeyeaters and thornbills among the woodlands that cover the hills.
