Re-Routes of the Heysen Trail
 | Map 6, Wirrabara Forest to Dutchmans Stern Conservation Park (August 2015)Occassionally, due to weather or maintenance issues, it is necessary to realign sections of the Heysen Trail. Minor reroutes, necessitated by such things as sand blowouts in coastal areas, protection of native vegetation, erosion control, or requests from landholders, are also frequently carried out. Logging operations in forests can sometimes necessitate the rerouting of the Trail. These reroutes often have to be done at short notice, and it is important to follow these reroutes, as it is dangerous to walk in areas where logging operations are in progress. |

A minor re-route has been marked to take the trail 400 metres further along the northern section of the Pine Track. The new track then follows a creek line for 250 metres before rejoing the original route.
The re-route means that when north bound walkers exit the Pine Track to head north west, the trail now follows a creek line. This avoids an unnecessary hill climb followed by a descent to the creek.
