Webb Gap to Burra Rd to Worlds End

Walking from Webb Gap to Burra Road on the Heysen Trail.

What to expect

NOTE – If you wish to walk on only one day, please contact the FOHT office to register for that day. The online registering system will only allow you to register for both walking days.

SATURDAY 27 October

The trail once again crosses over the Tothill Range and back providing expansive views across the surrounding farmlands and Apoinga Lagoon. A sharp climb after Huppatz Hut and an at times tricky descent back to Burra Road provides a fore taste of things to come in future walks.

SUNDAY 28th October

A short walk across paddocks to the Morgan-Whyalla pipeline is followed by an interesting walk through an area of the Halleluja Hills before reaching Worlds End Road. Once off this road we finish near the Burra Gorge campground.

Both these walk are quite delightful and provide a fitting finale to this seasons walking.

The theme for our dinner on Saturday night is Halloween.

Walk difficulty: End-to-End 11

These walks are for those wishing to walk some or all of the Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend.

These arrangements make it easy to walk the entire trail because the Friends of Heysen Trail work out many of the logistics.

These walks are reasonably demanding and for walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain. They have a walking time of about 5 to 6 hours and will require a high degree of physical fitness.

Refer to the End-to-End Walks page for more detailed information.
