Details

Walk name/location
Section 33: EE George Quarry to Spalding Rd
Walk grade
Warren Bonython Memorial Walk
Description

Most of this section is spent walking south, initially along the crest of Brown Hill Range, following the remnants of an old 1840s stone wall (the longest in SA). It is quite an undulating walk, with little shelter from the elements, however the views make up for any discomfort. The last 5-6 km follow rural back roads to the main Spalding to Burra road.
