Description

Weekend based in Burra

SAT -21st-Most of this section is spent walking South,initially along the crest of Brown Hill Range following the remnants of an old 1840’s stone wall{The longest in SA}. This is quite an undulating walk with little shelter from the elements, however the views make up for any discomfort. The last 5-6kms follow rural roads back to the cars .

Sun-22nd-This is a very flat but unique walk that follows the freshwater intake channel for Bundaleer Reservoir, only leaving it for a few Km’s as walkers pass through Spalding. Walkers will see some fascinating examples of engineering from the early 1900’s.We may even be visited by the angry magpie who’s been harassing walkers for many years .

If you would like to register for 1 days walking only PLEASE ring office to register after walk registrations have opened .

ALL WALKERS ARE REQUIRED TO SANITZE HANDS AND WEAR MASK UPON BOARDING THE BUS FOR THE ENTIRITY OF TRIP.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ ALL DETAILS .

These walks are for those wishing to walk some or all of the Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend.

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.
