Introduction Our walk this weekend was a delightful one - a 3 1/2 hour walk in the Black Hill Conservation park. This is our third visit to Black Hill. In October 2005 we did a 2 hour walk based on George Driscoll's recommendation in his book, 50 real bushwalks around Adelaide (see entry); and the summer before we did a 4.5 hour walk (not blogged) from the '20 Nature walks in Mount Lofty Ranges' book. This time, we made up our own walk. It was moderately difficult - none of the climbs were too steep, but there are quite a few of them. Dan handled it reasonably well, while I remember him complaining a lot on our other Black Hill walks, but that could also be because he is just that bit bigger at 9 years ... read more

Introduction On this walk, we had the pleasure of our friend Max's company. For his first bush walk, we chose Morialta Conservation Park as it is stunning, fun and not too difficult. How to get there … Morialta is located east of the city of Adelaide. I usually go down North Terrace, then Magill Road, and turn left on to St Bernard's road. About a kilometre or two along there is the right hand turn off to Moulles Road, that runs along the edge of Norwood Morialta High. You travel up this road until you get to a T-junction (in front of Rostrevor school) and then turn left and continue until you get to another T-junction and then turn right. A short way along this road, it turns sharp left and at this point there is ... read more

Introduction This week it was my turn to choose the location - and I chose a bushwalk at Anstey Hill Recreation Park. We used George Driscoll's walk number 13 as a guide (page 32) as although we have visited Anstey Hill before, we had not been on these particular tracks. The park is located at the end of Grand Junction Road between North East Road and Lower North East Road. For this walk you need to go to the eastern side of the park - take LNE road and turn a sharp right on to Range Road South and pull up at gate 18. The walk is suitable for young and old. The paths are wide and clear (which is a relief after losing the trail last week) - but there are some steep sections that ... read more

Tuttelut Forleden gik jeg lige 100 m til venstre for, hvor jeg bor, og vupti - der var soerme lige en gang massage, som den Birthe og jeg nyder i Holte. (Pernille, den der skoenne forloesende massage, vi fik dagen foer mor skulle begraves). Jeg fik en brochure med mig, og ringede saa i dag. Tog mit lille traetog (TRAM til Glenelg), stod af ved endestationen, og Heidie hentede mig, og vi koerte hjem til hendes hus paa Brighton Streen, hvor jeg saa noed en skoen 1 1/2 times Heidie's Hawaiian og Heat Stone Massage. Det var saa fantastisk, og paa en eller anden maade roerer det altsaa ved noget, naar man rigtig bliver nusset om til dejlig afslappende musik. Jeg havde en rigtig intens ti minutters tid, hvor jeg taenkte paa min dejlige mor, staaende ... read more
