We brought visitors to Morialta Park one time and were a little more than embarrassed for the trickle of water we insisted was the highlight of a short hike at the park.
The falls do not usually gush as you see in these pictures so this was another wonderful treat on our Australian holiday.
[Morialta Park is one of [the Rilleras'] favourite spots in Adelaide!!!]

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
