Re-route of the Heysen Trail affecting Map 6.9
A new camp site has been constructed at a trig between Hallett and Spalding. We anticipate water will be available for the 2013 hiking season.
This campsite replaces the former water source at Willalo Hall. It is 22.5km from Hallett and 26km from Spalding.
The camp site features a shelter with water tank and bench. It is in a windy and exposed location, so may not be suitable for all tents.
