Here's a great activity for children and adults close to Bonython Park (Tulya Wardli) and the River Torrens.

is an initiative of Children's University and Adelaide City Council. It invites the discovery of the natural environment of the river and parklands through storytelling. It's based on the popular book 'The Bunyip of Berkleys Creek' by Jenny Wagner, one I certainly remember reading to my children years ago.

If you park your car close to Bonython Park Playspace (entrance from Port Road), you can enjoy the walk down to the river and over the bridge towards . On the way back you can play on the flying fox and the Roktopus Giant Mouse Wheel. With the children of course.

It's a good idea to pick up Activity Booklet from the kiosk near Bonython Playspace before you start or download it here .

Then start following the signs to the start of the trail.





You'll find weather-proof 'pages' along the 200m trail.



As well as the bunyip story there's information about the local environment as well as activities linked to the activity booklet.



It's a delightful setting on a sunny day and exactly the right place to be reading this classic Aussie tale.



Don't forget to head back to your car via the Bonython Park Playspace and enjoy a few rotations of the Roktopus.
