The big bushland of Cleland National Park in Adelaide Hills region has fantastic hiking and cycling trails, including the Chambers Gully Hike (also known as Chambers Hike). The Chambers Hike is a relaxing 7km hiking loop through Chambers Gully and over Long Ridge. Entry to Cleland National Park is free.
On this trip, I did the Chambers Hike in a clockwise direction (blue line). You can download the free map on Avenza Maps.

*Captain Planet passing by* Remember, please take care of our environment, and please don’t destroy the Nature. Leave no trash behind and take back only photos and memories (and also some trash if you can). Walk on the designated path and stay in the middle as much as you can, so that the exposed soil doesn’t spread/corrode further. BE ONE WITH NATURE *flies away*
