Description

SAT 26th Sections 11&10

Starting with a pleasant saunter through the Onka NP we then venture out onto many backroads and unmade road reserves. We have the opportunity to do a 2km loop through Manning Fauna & Flora Reserve as we travel along this section. Further along we also have the opportunity to climb Sandalwood Lookout, a 1.5km return walk with views across the surrounding countryside. Leaving section 11 and moving onto section 10 we start heading for Willunga. A number of undulations are encountered on this section as we descend in and out of creek lines. Back roads and road reserves sees us finish the day in Willunga where the main street welcomes the weary walker.

Sun 27th Section 9

Starting the day back up in the high country walkers are rewarded with distant views of where we've been in the previous months. A long section of back road walking{8kms} is covered before we enter Adams Gully Scrub, which is also part of the Kidman trail. The trail then enters a number of private properties to finish off this section. One of these sections has a very steep section to navigate where care should must be taken.
