Nestled in the hills, some 11 kilometres south of the city, Belair National Park offers an appealing mix of native wildlife and colonial heritage. While brightly coloured parrots and koalas are common, the centrepiece of the park comprises the elegant sandstone buildings and gardens of Old Government House. Walkers can enjoy a stroll around Playford Lake or join a network of marked trails that wind along scenic hilltops and straddle creek beds. For families the park is peppered with barbecue areas, sports ovals and 54 ramshackle tennis courts—all part of the charm!
