Mount Lofty, Mountain summit in Adelaide Hills, Australia.
Mount Lofty rises 710 meters above sea level, offering views of Adelaide's skyline, Kangaroo Island, and Yorke Peninsula from its observation point.
Explorer Matthew Flinders named Mount Lofty during his circumnavigation of Australia in 1802, with Collet Barker making the first European ascent in 1831.
The Kaurna people name the peaks of Mount Lofty and Mount Bonython as Yuridla, representing the ears of an ancestral being called Nganu.
The summit facilities operate daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, providing visitor information, a restaurant, gift shop, parking areas, and public restrooms.
Snow falls occasionally at Mount Lofty, making this location the most frequent spot for snowfall observations in South Australia.
