Section 9: Mt Compass to Kyeema

The pretty dairy pastures of Mount Compass and Nangkita provide the backdrop for the first section of this walk. Back roads then lead you through Finniss Conservation Park and into the Mount Magnificent Conservation Park. If you take a short hike off the main Trail you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views from Mount Magnificent over the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. A combination of native bushland then back-road walking completes your day.
