Download the latest version of the Heysen Trail gpx file version 5.1 to stay on track. Hopefully you won’t see historic marker plates like this one again!
This is an update to the downloadable GPX file and Interactive Map since the last update in May 2025.
The new version includes the Georgetown reroute (Mapsheet 5A) which is a major temporary reroute due the the construction of an extensive wind farm and solar installation east of Georgetown.
Temporary reroutes are not normally added to the Heysen Trail gpx files, but this is an exception as the project is expected to affect the trail for at least 2 more years.
Due to the closure of Section 35, (Curnows Hut to Raeville) for the duration of the reroute, the section no longer appears in the Interactive map legend.
The Trail Distance table has also be updated to reflect the Georgetown reroute.
The GPX downloads now allow members to download each of the 8 MapSheets, as well as the whole trail.
