LFT4 Scenic Road to Tothill Belt Road to Manora
Walk grade
End-to-End Lavender Trail
Description

Saturday - Coming to this walk from the west side of the Bluff Ranges we continue north to Inspiration Point with lovely panoramas to the east and north. We pass a stand of Peppermint Cup Gums untouched since pre colonization.  A window back in time showing woodlands as they have been for millennia.  On to Peppermint Springs then to our familiar Web Gap and the Tothill Ranges. From Peppermint Springs we are hiking westerly toward Clare Valley.  The access points to these hikes are a little tricky so we are engaging bus services for this weekend.

Sunday - We head west to Moller Gap, south to Quin Gap then west to Waterloo and on to Manoora. We are passing close to wind farm turbines. On our westerly march we traverse numerous ranges running north/south providing good views.  The access points to these hikes are a little tricky so we are engaging bus services for this weekend.

 

Walk Difficulty – The Lavender 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.
