For a flatter walk take the track on the right Birriee Track.
Birriee track is a narrow track meandering through bushland glades with daisies and swarms of butterflies. Black cockatoos with yellow tails could be seen in large numbers.
We follow the new link trail Crafers to Mount Lofty Summit marked blue to take us back to the Summit and car park.
Walking on the Harford Bushland Trail dedicated to the first inspector of forests offers nice views over the Adelaide Plains.
