Description

This beautiful 12klm return walk takes us through the Mount George Conservation reserve, using the Heysen trail.
Walking by the old mill water wheel, along the old railway embankment, then passing under the Adelaide Melbourne rail line, take in the fairy garden as we then walk under the freeway into the conservation park.
Koala’s are a semi regular sight in this area.
As are beautiful reflections in the dam.
Then by strolling with care, across the Stirling golf course, we enter the Woodside Scout camp, and puff up the hill to the Heysen monument, Marking the early history- of the trail.
Then with a little road walking we end up in the Mt Lofty Botanic Garden. Here we will have a lovely rest break, before returning back to Bridgewater.
Once back we finish coincidentally, just by the ” Little Cog ” cafe, we will have a coffee and some social time together there.
Please indicate if you’re joining us. The question asks re a meal but it’s coffee and a social chat.

BIOSECURITY MEASURES – Please ensure you thoroughly clean your footwear, clothing, walking poles and other equipment before and after each walk to remove all seeds, dirt and other debris. Removed seeds should be bagged and disposed in a ‘to landfill’ garbage bin.

Walk grade: Trail Starter

The aim of these walks is to introduce people to bushwalking, for those who are not regular walkers and those who have not walked in a group previously or who want a shorter walk. TrailStarter walks are usually close to Adelaide, have a walk time of about 3 to 4 hours and will generally be not too physically demanding. Anyone undertaking these walks may have only a modest degree of physical fitness. These walks generally occur on Saturdays or Sundays.

Appropriate Clothing

All walks are subject to you wearing appropriate clothing. Prime considerations are warmth and weather protection. Your safety and the safety of the walking group can be jeopardised by you wearing inappropriate clothing. In an emergency situation it can take hours to evacuate a sick or injured walker. Leaders may not accept people for a walk who have not come appropriately dressed or prepared.

Hot Weather Policy

If the forecast temperature for Adelaide is equal or higher than 32C, walks are cancelled. For simplicity, this can be determined the night prior to the walk from the 7.00 pm ABC News Adelaide weather forecast, based upon the Bureau of Meteorology’s routine 4pm forecast.

Your Walk Leader will send an email to all walkers advising the walk is cancelled. We suggest you check your emails before leaving to join the walk. Even if the forecast temperature is later revised, the walk remains cancelled. In such a case walk fees will be refunded.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

If unforeseen circumstances arise and you are no longer able to participate in the walk, please cancel your registration as soon as possible using the Manage Walk Registrations facility on your Account page.

Alternatively you can notify the office by 2.15pm on the last business day before the walk. Walk leaders do not have access to messages left on the answering machine after this time. If your Walk Leader has provided their mobile phone number you may be able to contact them prior to the walk (subject to phone service availability).
