Mapsheet 1A: Re-Route around Tapanappa Campsite for Wild South Coast Way
A 2 km reroute away from the road at Tapanappa and a spur trail from Tapanappa into the Yapari Ngawanthi Cliffs campsite.
Mapsheet 2D: Re-route at Old School House, Mt Crawford Forest
Due to forestry operations the Trail has been rerouted near the Old School House in Mount Crawford Forest.
Mapsheet 3B: Maryvale re-route south of Hamilton
A temporary reroute has been made south of Hamilton. For northbound walkers, after leaving a property at grid reference 046 059, the Trail now turns left onto Allen Creek Road and continues to the junction with Marrabel Road. The Trail turns left again and follows Marrabel Road for approximately 1.5 km. Please take extreme care on this section of road.
The Trail then turns left and follows Taylors Run Road before turning right (northwards) onto Hydedale Road. After 2 km the reroute rejoins the original Trail on Cornvale Road at grid reference 033 100.
Mapsheet 3D: Goyder Windfarm – temporary re-route east of Huppatz Hut
A temporary reroute has been marked north of Huppatz Hut to avoid construction work associated with the Goyder Wind Farm.
The Trail heads east from Huppatz Hut before the reroute diverts walkers at grid reference 089 509. The rerouted section heads due north contouring up the ridge, before a switchback at grid reference 089 514 brings you to the summit.
The new route crosses the construction road and then heads east joining the old Trail over a new stile at grid reference 092 514.
Mapsheet 8C: Yuluna realignment, Ikara Flinders Ranges National Park
A 2.6 km section of the Trail east of Aroona ruins has been realigned to follow the northern section of the Yuluna Loop Trail.
Mapsheet 2C: Error in Grid Reference (Eastings)
There is printing error on the 2014 version of Mapsheet 2C. The grid references (Eastings) on the bottom are incorrect, so those on the top part of the map should be used.
The Eastings on the bottom half of the map are displaced by 1 km between 980 and 700.
Mapsheet 1D and 2A: Re-route at Chookarloo Campground, Kuitpo Forest
The new route directs walkers away from the Kuitpo Tree Climb and car park.
Northbound it deviates from the original Trail at the Avenues Picnic Ground (Mapsheet 2A at grid reference 916 015), runs parallel with Black Nursery Road for 200 metres before crossing the road. It then enters the forest at grid reference 918 015. After a short meander through a dense eucalypt forest it rejoins the Trail just to the north of the tree climb area.
There is another 500 metre redirection of the trail just further north which bypasses the Chookarloo Campsite.
Northbound walkers leaving the eucalypt plantation surrounding the Kuitpo Tree Climb at grid reference 919019 now follow the northern edge of the plantation west to the boundary fence. Walkers will then cross Brookman Road via a step-over before heading north towards the pedestrian gate at grid reference 918020 before rejoining the Trail.
The two hike-in campsites at Chookarloo have been closed, but the other 21 campsites in this campground are still available.
Please be aware of increased road traffic when crossing Black Nursery Road and avoid entering the tree climb facility. There is now a cafe at the facility.
Mapsheet 4B: Realignment of the trail east of Mt Bryan
The Mount Bryan reroute aligns the Trail with the road reserve.
After leaving the Mount Bryan East Road, the Trail follows the northern side of the fence. After reaching a stile it generally tracks north west, zig zagging to the summit.
Mapsheet 1C: Re-route at Robinson Hill/Jaggers Block
When walking south-north, the reroute starts at the intersection of Prouse, Hancock and Keens Road following a fence line west behind a telephone tower to enter the Robinson Hill walk-in campsite. Just prior to the tank and platform it turns north west, out of the campsite, down into and through a disused quarry, to cross Hancock Road and enters the Jaggers Forest, over a step-ladder stile. It then follows the forest fence line, initially west, then north, then west again with a final northerly turn to exit the forest onto Roads Lane, over a stile.
