This trail is almost completely flat and offers a good introduction to Adelaide’s inner-city suburbs.

The two main sections are:

• CBD to South Rd (2 km) runs through inner-metro areas from James Condon Dr. Ride/walk there or catch the train to nearby Mile End Station. Parking at SA Athletics Stadium off Railway Tce
• South Rd to Morphettville (6 km) meanders pleasantly through a wider, tree-lined railway corridor

CBD to South Rd (2 km)

• Start at the Mile End Railway Station, off James Congdon Drive, which is close to where the Holdfast Bay Line joined the existing tracks from Adelaide Railway Station on North Tce
• Ride south beside busy James Congdon Dr,  the original alignment of the line, on an elevated and tree-lined shared path
• After passing the SA Athletics Stadium on the left, the trail swings to the right and crosses Railway Tce and then James Congdon Dr at the traffic lights. The path continues for a short distance before crossing Sir Donald Bradman Dr at the traffic lights
• At the next set of traffic lights approaching South Rd, cross James Congdon Dr again to the left, then turn right and proceed a short distance on the path to the pedestrian crossing and cross South Rd.
• The trail veers to the left but once past the left-turn slip lane you are on the rail trail

South Rd to Anzac Hwy (6 km)

• The trail follows the railway corridor but meanders along among the landscaping
• There’s a bike repair station near the corner of Moss Av and Tennyson St
• Wiegall Reserve on the left, just past the Oval Tce roundabout, has amenities and shelter
• As you approach Marion Rd, look for the remains of the Plympton Railway Station platform to the right. There is a shelter and a cairn here
• Cross Marion Rd at the pedestrian crossing and continue southwest
• Cross Morphett Rd and pass Immanuel Primary School on your right, just before entering Camden Oval in Morphettville
• Follow the trail around the oval to a marked path beside Anzac Hwy. This is the last section of the railway corridor, the rest has been used for housing and roads
• Cross Anzac Hwy at the pedestrian crossing, turn right, then sharp left and follow the Sturt River Linear Park Trail along the edge of the river channel
• Cross the tram line and turn right onto the Mike Turtur Bikeway
• Continue on the shared use path as it follows the tram line to Glenelg, but watch out for the giraffe beside that path
• The trail ends at Brighton Rd where you can use the pedestrian crossing to continue onto Jetty Rd to the beach or, if Jetty Rd is too busy, use Augusta St, which is 200 m north
