Morialta Conservation Park

Morialta Conservation Park is a protected natural area in the Adelaide Hills foothills, about 10 kilometres northeast of central Adelaide, South Australia. Centred on Morialta Gorge with its steep quartzite cliffs and three seasonal waterfalls, the park is notable for its rugged landscape, extensive walking trail network and rock-climbing areas. Established in 1915, it protects woodland habitat for koalas and native birds and offers accessible nature experiences close to the city.

Visitors can expect a rugged gorge landscape with steep cliffs, rocky creek beds and three waterfalls (First, Second and Third Falls) that flow seasonally after rain. The park has a network of marked walking trails ranging from sealed valley walks to steep ridge and gorge tracks, lookouts such as Deep View and Kookaburra Rock, rock-climbing areas on quartzite cliffs, open woodland with koalas and native birds, and picnic areas near the creek. The setting is natural bushland close to suburban Adelaide.
