If you are starting from Warren Gorge you’ll use the scenic spur trail from Warren Gorge to return to the Trail at Peter’s Corner and head north towards Mount Arden South campsite.
Just north of the campsite you’ll leave the creek to climb to the exposed Mount Arden summit for spectacular 360 degree views. You’ll then follow the main ridgeline before descending to a pretty but rugged creek to exit at Buckaringa Gorge. Located within the Gorge, Buckaringa Wildlife Sanctuary is a stronghold for the vulnerable yellow-footed rock-wallaby.
After climbing back into the range you’ll enter Depot Creek which winds its way northwards. The gradual climb up the creek bed with its waterfalls and rocky sections may make your progress very slow. Walkers can choose to use the spur trail to Warren Gorge at grid reference 795 346 (‘Peter’s Corner’) or continue following the creek to Mount Arden South campsite.
This is a predominantly flat walk below rocky outcrops. The Trail then leads across Willochra Plain to Partacoona Station.
This is a long but fairly easy walk, initially along vehicle tracks, then over open grazing land along the face of Yappala Range and past the historic Mount Elm school site to the Jarvis Hill carpark.
One of the gems of the Trail, along this ridge walk you’ll get spectacular views and many photo opportunities. It is a short walk, but may still take you up to four hours because of the terrain and photo stops. You’ll end the day at the site of Wonoka, proclaimed as a town in 1883 and commemorated with a memorial marking the town and its pioneers.
A classic Flinders Ranges walk, you’ll spend the whole day in Wonoka Creek which has been the site of several major floods over the years.
This very long section of the Trail follows picturesque Mernmerna and Slaty creeks to the Red Range campsite. If you are accessing the Trail from Mount Little Station you’ll pass rock pools along Mayo Gorge which were used in scenes for the 2007 movie Lucky Miles. You’ll have a pretty walk with gentle undulations, along creek beds and through native pine woodlands, in the shadow of Elder Range and Mount Aleck. This long 32.4 km walk can’t be shortened due to public access restrictions on Private Property.
This is another very special section of the Trail. You’ll start with a pretty creek walk through Black Gap before climbing the Pound Range to Bridle Gap, with spectacular views of Elder Range. Entering Ikara – Flinders Ranges National Park you’ll have a pleasant stroll across Wilpena Pound to complete the day.
This pretty walk is entirely within the Ikara – Flinders Ranges National Park, with much of the day spent following the Wilcolo Track between the ABC range and the towering peaks of Wilpena Pound.
In this section you’ll climb from Bunyeroo Valley, up to Yanyanna Hut, passing several vantage points along the way that provide superb opportunities to take photos of the ranges behind you. Continuing along Yanyanna Track the Trail passes old settlers huts before entering the geologically significant Trezona area.
