Walk The Yorke Port Turton to Corney Point

Walk grade

Walk the Yorke End-to-End

Description

This event will involve car-pooling and be two sections over the weekend

Section one: Point Turton to Point Souttar (13 km)

A shorter section of the Walk the Yorke than we have been experiencing. Point Turton marks the 'top of the foot" of the peninsular. What is noticeable, compared to previous sections, is the remoteness. Leaving Port Turton, walking along a track with the ocean of one side and farmland of the other. A notable landmark will be The Drain, an engineering marvel that 20 men dug in the early 1900s. Closer to Point Souttar we will find ourselves amongst she-oaks and scrubland.

Section two: Point Souttar to Corney Point (21km)

Weaving onto and off of the beach, expect the unexpected. The day's experience will depend on the weather; the area is known for its rains, so bring your rain jacket. This area is full of history, with Captain Flinders experienced the howling dogs. Likely the story behind the naming of the Howling Dog Tavern we will end our day at in Corney Point.

 

 

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.
