Saturday's 17th May Walk Details - 25.5 km

Walk 29-Newikie Creek to Dares Hill Summit Road - This section passes through Caroona Creek Conservation Park and Tourilie Gorge, which is one of the lesser-known gems of the Trail. Look out for the remnants of an old bullock track cut through the gorge.

Sunday's 18th May Walk Details -22km

Walk 28-Wandillah to Newikie Creek  - This remote, exposed and very undulating section gives walkers their first introduction to the grazing lands beyond Goyders Line. Some nice views.

 

Walk Difficulty – The Heysen 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.
