Walking from North Booborowie Road to Bundaleer Reservoir on the Heysen Trail.

This event has passed.

What to expect

Weekend based in Burra

SAT -21st-Most of this section is spent walking South,initially along the crest of Brown Hill Range following the remnants of an old 1840’s stone wall{The longest in SA}. This is quite an undulating walk with little shelter from the elements, however the views make up for any discomfort. The last 5-6kms follow  rural roads back to the cars .

Sun-22nd-This is a very flat but unique walk that follows the freshwater intake channel for Bundaleer Reservoir, only leaving it for a few Km’s as walkers pass through Spalding. Walkers will see some fascinating examples of engineering from the early 1900’s.We may even be visited by the angry magpie who’s been harassing walkers for many years .
