Brown Hill rises above the creek valley with open rocky slopes and wide views back across the surrounding foothills and suburbs. The climb is short but steady in sections, with exposed terrain replacing the shaded creekside track lower down. From the upper slopes, you can see across much of the Brownhill Creek valley and towards the Adelaide plains on clear days.

Hiking
Short but steep incline from McElligott‘s car park. Not as busy as Mt. Lofty (and not as high). Mainly locals.
