However most people still access Mt. There are three classic views of Mt. In aboriginal times the Kaurna, though largely confined to the Adelaide Plains, appear to have made visits to the ranges during spring and autumn. The purpose of these seasonal pilgrimages was to collect the gum resin of the golden wattle for use in the manufacture of their tools, and to collect the bark of the stringybark for their winter shelters. Possums and wallabies were also hunted to provide skins for sleeping rugs and cloaks for winter protection.
This prudent seasonal use of the ranges by the Kaurna allowed the game population time to recover and thus provided a relatively steady and assured supply of food. However the Kaurna did not proceed above the metre line in the ranges — the point where blue gum woodland changes to dense stringybark forest — to avoid contact with the neighbouring Permamangk tribe, with whom they practised conflicting religious beliefs and rites. One Kaurna tale tells the story of Jureidla, an ancestral giant who attacked from the east and was duly killed.
His huge fallen body then formed part of the Mt. Lofty Ranges, his ears being the twin points of Mt. Lofty and Mt. Bonython, with the body lying to the north.
