Waterfall Gully

The Waterfall Gully is actually a series of waterfalls in a water catchment area on the outskirts of Adelaide.

Of the waterfalls we have seen in

We speculate that the falls has somewhat reliable flow because its drainage collects a fair bit of water, and there is a fair bit of regulation for the sake of water storage (it's a water catchment) as opposed to diversion. That might actually serve to buffer the variability of rainfall in the area.

Of the waterfalls in the park, only the first two are the most worthwhile to visit and also the most easily accessible. If you're up for extending your stay in the area, you can choose to hike up to the summit of Mt Lofty as well as visit the Cleland Wildlife Park (something we didn't do so we can't say more on this 7.8km 2.5hr return hike). There is also a restaurant here.

The first falls is just a short stroll from the car park. An additional 10 to 15 minutes of uphill walking past the top of the first falls yields the second falls. The second one is a bit smaller, but sits in a serene setting.
