Section 46: Broadview to Woolshed Flat

Region: Flinders Ranges

This section of the trail climbs through grazing land and natural scrub to Mount Brown, where after a very "testing" ascent, walkers are provided with spectacular views of the northern Spencer Gulf from the viewing tower. A pretty single file descent leads down to Waukarie Creek and a classic Flinders Ranges creek walk.
