You step off the suburban street into a cool pocket of river and reed: the Warriparinga Wetlands push a breath of river air toward you and the Sturt River quietly insists you slow down. A Kaurna guide meets the group beneath eucalyptus limbs and begins the walk with an invitation to listen—water, bird calls and the soft scrape of footfall become the map.
