About the Walking Trail
Follow Fourth Creek to the heart of Morialta Gorge, on the valley floor along a stroller accessible trail.
During summer the creek is dry. After autumn and winter rains, water tumbles thirty metres from the top of Morialta’s best known landmark, First Falls.
The hike begins from the top carpark, or you can commence from the lower carpark on Stradbroke Road.
Public Transport
The hike is accessible by Adelaide Metro bus, from bus stop 27 on Stradbroke Road, by bus routes H30S and H33.
