Section 48: Quorn to Dutchmans Stern

This section of the Trail passes through the outskirts of Quorn before entering the Dutchmans Stern Conservation Park. You’ll gradually climb towards the Dutchmans Stern, named because of its supposed resemblance to the stern of a Dutch vessel. It’s well worth taking a 6 km detour to walk to the Dutchmans Stern loop as the views are spectacular.
