Description

SATURDAY 19 SEPTEMBER

This section of the trail climbs through grazing land and natural scrub to Mount Brown, where walkers are provided with spectacular views of the northern Spencer Gulf from the viewing tower. A pretty single file descent leads to Waukarie Creek and a classic Flinders Ranges creek walk.

SUNDAY 20 SEPTEMBER

A steady climb to start the day takes walkers to the top of the range and views over Pichi Richi Pass. After following the ridgeline for a few kilometres the trail descends into the pass again. The Trail follows the historic Pichi Richi railway line, passing the remnants of deserted sidings and settlements.

THEME - 'Q'
