Army Museum of South Australia
Walk to the Army Museum of South Australia to stretch your legs and see the historic collection. The museum is run by volunteers and has limited hours, so check if it is open on the day you visit. Use this time to rest before the climb.

Head up to Montefiore Hill for the sunset. The hill is a 64-minute walk from the museum, but you can take a shorter route if you know the way. Watch the sun set toward the WNW as the sky turns golden.

End the evening with a drink at The Archer. It is a modern pub near Montefiore Hill with a large range of beers. Note that it closes earlier than most venues due to residential noise restrictions.

The walk from the Army Museum to Montefiore Hill is long. Consider taking a taxi or bus if you prefer not to walk the full 64 minutes. If you do walk, start early to enjoy the golden light.
