Timeline
08:00
Walk up to the summit of Brown Hill. It is a clear trig station site with wide views over the Mount Lofty Ranges. The climb is short and the air is cooler here than in the city below.
08:30
Walk down to 1954 for a coffee and a snack. This café opens at 09:00 on weekdays and weekends, so you can arrive just as it opens. It is a short walk from the hill and a perfect place to rest your legs.
09:15
Head to Carrick Hill. This historic estate is a short walk from the café. You can explore the grounds and see the historic house built in the late 1930s. It is a quiet spot to reflect on the morning before heading back.
Local tip
