10 Mountains in 5 Weeks

After a not too thorough google search, I discovered no one is yet to assemble a list (or listicle) of Adelaide's most beautiful/interesting/accessible mountains.

Probably because almost all of them can be easily and quickly driven to the top of..
But for Australia's most accessible mainland mountain range from a capital city, this seems a great shame. (You can feasibly land at Adelaide International Airport and climb to the top of Mount Lofty within 2 hours of collecting your bags - weather and fitness permitting, and utilising a bike/bus/hire car to get to the end of Waterfall Gully Road).

The list of Adelaide's 10 mountains has only two loose criteria, be named a mountain, and to be located within the Southern Mount Lofty Ranges (which includes the Adelaide Hills wine region); Adelaide's closest mountain range, visible from Adelaide CBD.

walkingsa.org.au has over 300 great walks across the state. Many of the best of these involve the Heysen Trail, one of the world's longest marked walking trails, which also traverses the Southern and Northern Mount Lofty Ranges, between the Flinders Ranges to the north and Cape Jervis on the Fleurieu Peninsula to the south.

The list focusses on accessible walks, rather than true hikes, although there are many excellent rock climbing and hiking opportunities throughout the region.
Instead the list takes in proximity to other things the region is famous for; food, wine, pubs, small townships, and of course views.

The first of the 10 Mountains of Adelaide is Mount George, from Bridgewater via the Heysen Trail.
