I figured that I needed to do some exercise to minimise the impact that Christmas holiday indulgence would do to my health. So this morning I decided to walk from Waterfall Gully, in Rostrevor, to the Mount Lofty summit.
Mount Lofty is the highest point (I think) in Adelaide, at 710 metres above sea level. Considering that it was about 34 degrees Celsius, I found it hard to believe that it can actually snow there in winter. The walk from Waterfall Gully was a reasonably easy 4 km walk, with some steep sections. I managed to make it to the top in an hour, which included a few photo stops at the waterfalls, and a few minutes admiring a kangaroo and her joey, which happened to be foraging near the track. After a few minutes admiring the view and taking some panorama shots, I made my way back down. For no particular reason, I decided to jog down, so made it back in about 25 minutes.
