My final walk in Adelaide took me back to Blackwood and Sturt Gorge Reserves, but heading south to one of the reservoirs, rather than the route I previously took along the river.

From suburban streets I headed through Ossie Goldsworthy Reserve, which is primarily home to a playground and picnic area.

I then entered Blackwood Reserve along the route I walked a week earlier.

Before heading south as the sun started to make its way through the bush.

There was some wonderful birdlife.

I followed a dirt road down toward the reservoir.

Which offered good reflections.

Before returning up the hill and along mountain bike trails.

The landscape at the end of a dry summer was clearly parched.

I followed the train line for longer than planned as the railway crossing on my phone map didn’t actually exist…

I took a quick look around very pleasant Wittunga Botanic Garden.

Before a final stretch of suburb walking and waiting at the railway crossing for a lengthy freight train to pass.
