Morialta Park Waterfall Hike, Adelaide, Australia

Today's trip is labeled a 'hike', steep and on a dirt trail. This is a loop hike, but without maps I took a wrong turn. I had a feeling I was going the wrong way, and turned back. At a trail junction I went by a big group of hikers 'cleaning their boots', and as they came thru one by one, they they stood in front of the trail that I was supposed to take. Not knowing this, I continued where they came down. SnowDude told me he saw two koala bears by a grove of gum trees, so I checked it out when I got there. I saw one koala bear and spent some time watching it eat. After 20 minutes I continued to the parking area. It started sprinkling as I approached the car.
The birds in Australia are colorful. Parrots are all over.
A lot of pretty flowers
