The Heysen Trail is developed and maintained as a partnership between the Government of South Australia (Department for Environment & Water - DEW) and the Friends of the Heysen Trail.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners of the beautiful land that we walk along the Heysen Trail. We appreciate their continuous spiritual connection to this country over thousands of years and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future.
