Quarry Views Loop

Starting from the car park at the end of Quarry Track, Tea Tree Gully, this circuit walk takes you around the former quarry via the Quarry Views track. As the name suggests, this walk takes you around the top of one of the former quarries at Anstey Hill Recreation Park, where quartzite was quarried in the late 1800s. You'll have excellent views over the Adelaide Hills and surrounding metropolitan area and into the quarry. If you're lucky, you might even spot a couple of native birds and reptiles. Toilets are available near Gate 1, the main entrance to Anstey Hill Recreation Park. Bring your four-legged friends, but keep them on a leash. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
