This section of the Yurrebilla Trail in the edge of Belair National Park, Brownhill Creek, and the open grassy hills and ridgetops of Waite Conservation Reserve.

Yurrebilla Trail Overview

This walk is part of the Yurrebilla Trail. The Trail is 54 kilometres long and can be walked in its entirety in 3 to 5 days. It’s divided into one full-day and four half-day sections:

  1. Section 1: Belair Railway Station to Eagle-on-the-Hill (17.5 km)
  2. Section 2: Eagle-on-the-Hill to Summertown (7 km)
  3. Section 3: Summertown to Norton Summit (9 km)
  4. Section 4: Norton Summit to Morialta (7.5 km)
  5. Section 5: Morialta to Ambers Gully (River Torrens) (13 km)

Ranging from narrow single-person tracks to vehicle fire tracks, the Yurrebilla Trail passes many of the Adelaide Hills’ top tourist attractions, including Carrick Hill, Waterfall Gully, the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens, Mount Lofty Summit and Cleland Wildlife Park. It also visits or has connection to picturesque Hills’ towns such as Summertown, Crafers and Norton Summit, as well as wineries, pubs and other attractions.

We know you love walking and we need your support to help us achieve our vision of seeing “more people walking more often”.

We are the peak body in SA for walking, but we’re a not-for-profit organisation with only a little help from the government so we rely on supporters, just like you, to promote walking to all South Australians.

With over 750 walking trails showcased, our website shows the work we do to improve your walking experiences.

If you're able to, please support our work for as little as $22 per year.
