This is a multi day walk. If you wish to register for only one or two days, please contact the office once registrations open.
Saturday: Mt Zion to Wirrabara Forest – For most of this section the trail follows gravel roads and a rollercoaster firetrack through natural bushland towards the TV tower at The Bluff where walkers are rewarded with spectacular views of the gulf and beyond.
Sunday: Wirrabara Forest to White Park Rd – This provides a very diverse range of scenery. Walkers follow the ridgeline along fire access tracks through the dense natural scrub of the Telowie Gorge Conservation Park and enjoy views over Port Germein and across the gulf to Whyalla and Port Bonython. After turning off and descending steeply from the ridgeline the Trail follows Sheepyard Track ascending to Rocky Ridge then turning north through old harvested pine forest allowing expansive views to the Gulf, following a steep climb to Sugargum Lookout. The trail continues following the Wirrabara Greenway through a private property.
Monday: White Park Rd to Murraytown – The day is spent walking along back roads and road reserves through undulating farmland.
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.
Accommodation: Laura, Wirrabara
