Walking trails
The East End Art Trail
City of Adelaide, Maras Group, East End Corporation
Way back in 1995 I drew this set of 16 images through Adelaide’s East End. Now brought back to life on those same streets with The East End Art Trail. Footpath markers locate each drawing, QR codes give context, artwork installed in all sorts of places!
Campbelltown’s Thorndon Park sits on the foothills below Black Hills / Morialta in Adelaide and is a place of permanent water. This Nature Trail takes walkers (especially kids) down the hill from the playground and through this watery environment - with markers along the way focussing on stopping, sitting and engaging with this beautiful place.
We also developed a Kids Activity Guide (digital and paper versions) aimed at primary aged kids, adding more layers of information to each stop along the way.
The immersive Wadmore Park Loop Trail runs through this beautiful remnant bushland. There is grassland, heathland, and riparian environments and is one of the most biodiverse parks left on the Adelaide plains.
The Loop Trail has 12 stops, leading through these different parts of the park. Each marker has specific species information for that location, some Kaurna language
North Terrace Tree Trail
City of Adelaide
Developed along Adelaide’s iconic North Terrace, this school holiday project gave focus to the importance of trees in a city environment - keeping us cool, cleaning the air.
Aimed at primary years, kids were encouraged to discover the tree markers, and engage in a range of nature-based activities along the way. Kids art workshops were also held at The Art Gallery of South Australia.
