take your bike on trains any time, but not buses. Trails SA ( www.southaustraliantrails.com )
offers loads of cycling-and-hiking-trail info: pick up its 40 Great South Australian Short
Walks brochure.

walks detailed in brochures from the South Australian Visitor & Travel Centre. The
riverside Linear Park Trail is a 40km walking/cycling path running from Glenelg to the
