On this walk we acknowledge the traditional lands of the Nukunu people.
What you’ll experience hiking Section 46 of the Trail
This section of the Trail climbs through grazing land and natural scrub to Mount Brown where, after a very testing ascent, you’ll get spectacular views of the northern Spencer Gulf from the viewing tower. If you’re part of a group you’ll need to descend in single file to Waukarie Creek before you end with a classic Flinders Ranges creek walk.
