World famous for its unique natural habitat and geologic formations, Sturt Gorge is also a popular destination for hiking and mountain biking. You can explore threatened greybox grassy woodlands and see sturt tillite, a rare glacial material that was dropped from ice floating in an ancient ocean. The gorge is just over 15 kilometres from Adelaide's CBD and there's no entry fee, making it an easy day trip from the city.
