TIPS ON HOW TO GET TO AYERS HOUSE It’s about a 15 min walk from Adelaide Railway Station. If you prefer to save your steps for the hike, take the free tram (BTANIC service, toward BOTANIC GARDENS) from the station and alight at the BOTANIC GARDENS TRAM STOP (end of the tram line). A BIT OF HISTORY ON AYERS HOUSE Built in 1846 as a modest home, it was purchased in 1855 by Sir Henry Ayers, who transformed it into a grand bluestone mansion. Today, it is recognised as a State Heritage Place. PLEASE NOTE This is only your pick-up point, the tour does NOT include a visit inside.
Your guide will take you on a 10km loop through the wild beauty of Deep Creek NP, discovering a remarkable variety of ecosystems in a compact area. You'll traverse Xanthorrhoea-covered hillsides, open grassy slopes, and rocky gullies, all framed by dramatic views of the Southern Ocean. Located on the Fleurieu Peninsula, this protected area is a haven for Western Grey Kangaroos and short-beaked echidnas. Keep an eye out for over 100 bird species as you explore. Between June and October, you may even spot whales cruising the coastline during their annual migration. Prepare for a challenge! This hike will work up a sweat with steep sections and some rock scrambling. Your effort is rewarded with stunning coastal scenery and a visit to a tranquil, seasonal waterfall before you complete the trail. FITNESS REQUIREMENTS. You must be "trail fit" to join this tour.

About Adelaide
Adelaide is a relaxed, green capital of South Australia, laid out as a grid inside a ring of parkland, with wine country and beaches close by.
Colonel William Light planned Adelaide in 1837 as a tidy grid of streets and five squares, then circled it with the parklands that still separate the centre from the suburbs. North Terrace lines up the state library, art gallery, museum and university, and the Torrens River runs through the middle, with the Adelaide Oval on its bank. Rundle Mall and the Central Market cover shopping and food.
Top-ranked sights in Adelaide: Mt. Lofty, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide Oval.
