Sunday 21st Sept Walk Details - 19 km

Walk 36 – Raeville to Locks Ruin: This walk follows dirt roads into the small town of Georgetown and beyond past Hiskey’s Hut. The trail then follows undulating fence lines through Sam’s Hills.

Walk Difficulty – The Heysen Trail walks are demanding and suitable for experienced walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain consisting of long-distance trails with some steep inclines/declines, irregular surface with loose uneven, slippery base. They have a walking time of about 5 to 7 hours and will require a good degree of physical fitness.

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.
