Adelaide : Mt Lofty Summit

The perfect vantage point to get the best views overlooking the entire city of Adelaide is a trek or a ride up to the Mt. Lofty Summit, at least 727meters above sea level and it gives you a panoramic view of Adelaide. It can be a bit windy at the top, especially during winter, even if the sun is blazing hot you still have to make sure to bring a thick jacket as it can be chilly.

As Mt. Lofty was named by Matthew Flinders in 1802, the obelisk point placed in the summit was renamed as "Flinder's Column" in honor of him. 

Although in downtown Adelaide the winter temperature is just around 10 - 15 degrees Celsius, when we went up to the summit they said that the temperature in the early morning had gone down to 5 degrees and that they are expecting light snow in the next couple of days.

There is also a cafe/restaurant (and a souvenir shop) at the summit for those who needs refreshments, especially the ones who opted to do the uphill trek instead of just driving up (like we did hahahaha, lazy us).
