During one of the Saturdays, my friends and I made a trip to the Morialta Conservation Park somewhere in the Northern part of Adelaide (about a 30 minute drive from the city). It was a fairly cloudy day with some light drizzle (or spits as they refer to it over here) now and then. And as a result, we only went up to the First Falls Plateau Hike. The Second Falls Gorge Hike and the Three Falls Grand Hike would have to do another day :)
Some of my friends were attempting to conquer a certain small section of the rocky/cave-like place in the park. Having never rock-climbed in my entire life, I didn't think it was easy making my way through that area.
I actually took this picture in the early days of Autumn at Torrens River but am only posting this up in the midst of Winter :p
It's so incredibly gorgeous down there and the best part of this place (for all you students out there) is that it's located close to the city centre area. In fact, it's just within walking distance of the University of Adelaide. It's no surprise how many of the university's students would lie under the shade of the trees in between classes and just take a step back from all the assignments and exam stress. Occasionally, you see ducks swimming in the river (if you look closely, you can see one at the bottom of the image on top) and there's something about such a scene that just equates to peace and serenity, things that every student would need every once in awhile, no? :)
