Website

The site of a quartzite quarry until 1934, this reserve now consists mainly of a grassy park, built on almost 30m of fill above the quarry floor. Offering a superb panorama of Adelaide, the adjacent car park is, needless to say, a popular romantic destination for couples! However, there is plenty to keep the rest of us occupied, with picnic tables, swings, a barbecue, and a short geological trial which provides information about the features along the remaining quarry face.
