- Walk Description: An adventurous day out in the Barossa as we walk through the varied terrain of the Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park, just outside of Tanunda. The route will be a combination of easier flat tracks, tighter undulating paths through scrubland, and an off-the-beaten-track section on rough, uneven ground—well worth the hike to a special lookout for lunch. There are easy-to-moderate inclines. Please note: There are no toilet facilities anywhere along this walk.

The route then backtracks slightly to join the Purple Plateau trail, leading to the top of the first falls and the Eagles Nest Lookout. The route includes a steep climb to Eagles Nest Lookout, before moving onwards to the top of the First Falls lookout and the south side of the gorge. With several breaks at lookouts and benches, the total walk takes approximately 2.5 hours. There are a few relatively steep sections, but nothing too arduous.
