A canopy course whispers above Adelaide's Park Lands as the city skyline glints beyond gum trees. Participants clip into harnesses, feel the platform sway, and step out onto a sequence of ropes, bridges and zip-lines that thread through the mature urban trees. Mid-course the Tarzan swing arrives like a dare — a single moment of airborne release against a backdrop of plane-tree avenues and the distant Mount Lofty foothills.
