Section 40: The Bluff Lookout to White Park Road

Wirrabara Forest views - Heysen Trail through Wirrabara Forest to Reopen

This provides a very diverse range of scenery. After re-joining the Trail, walkers again follow the ridgeline along fire access tracks through the dense natural scrub of the Telowie Gorge Conservation Park and enjoy views over Port Germein and across the gulf to Whyalla and Port Bonython. After turning off and descending steeply from the ridgeline the Trail follows Sheepyard Track ascending to Rocky Ridge then turning north through old harvested pine forest allowing expansive views to the Gulf, following a steep climb to Sugargum Lookout.

The trail continues following the Wirrabara Greenway through a private property to end at a new location - the junction of White Park & Yellow Cutting Roads.
