The Heysen Trail

The Heysen Trail The Friends of Heysen Trail volunteers support, promote and maintain the 1200km Trail.

The Friends acknowledge and respect Traditional Custodians of these ancestral lands: Ngarrindjeri/Ramindjeri, Kaurna, Peramangk, Ngadjuri, Nukunu and Adnyamathanha. The 1200km Heysen Trail is an adventure hike that traverses some of South Australia's most diverse and breathtaking landscapes: including coastal cliffs, beaches, native bushland, rugged gorges, pine forests and vineyards, as well as r

ich farmland and historic towns. Walk from Cape Jervis in the south to Parachilna Gorge in the northern Flinders Ranges, or from north to south. you may choose to tackle the experience as day walks (61), sections staying in towns or through-hiking with a tent and backpack. The Trail passes through some of the most scenic parts of the state including national parks, state forests and internationally acclaimed tourist destinations, including the Barossa Valley and the stunning Wilpena Pound, star of the Flinders Ranges. Much of the Trail crosses private land so be aware of signage and closures for fire danger season. Information and images on this page are coordinated by The Friends of Heysen Trail volunteers. It offers insights into the Heysen Trail and/or various activity organised by the Friends. The Friends works in partnership with the Department for Environment & Water as the authorised manager of the Trail on behalf of the State Government. Promotion and comments on this page should remain respectful and relevant to the Heysen Trail.

A deceptively tough walk with a bit of everything โ€“ undulating fire tracks with spectacular views, rocky gorge walking, and then 5km traversing the gibber-strewn floodplain to Eyre Depot.
Sunday Walk: Eyre Depot to Warren Gorge 1.7 km walk in + 8.9km walk + 4.9km walk out + 1km to bus (16.5Km)
After a 1.7 km walk-in to rejoin the trail at the Eyre Depot monument, walkers follow a track to head back into the range, before entering Depot Creek which winds its way northwards.

Saturday 12th September: Oban to Bundaleer Reservoir 20km
The importance of fresh water is abundantly clear for most of this section of the Trail, which follows the Freshwater intake channel for Bundaleer Reservoir, only leaving it for a few kilometres to go through the township of Spalding. Youโ€™ll also see some fascinating examples of engineering from the early 1900s.
Sunday 13th September: Locks Ruin to Bowman Park 16km
An easy walk, predominantly along roads and road reserves, this section takes you through the town of Crystal Brook, then follows the Crystal Brook itself to historic Bowman Park.

Biosecurity on the Heysen Trail.

The Friends trail volunteers have installed 2 boot cleaning stations at the request of landholders in the mid-north. Please put them to good use & help protect the Trail.

It's generally good practice for walkers to clean boots, poles and gear to keep them in good condition & remove dirt and seeds to mitigate risk of spread. A spray bottle with detergent works a treat.

Another fantastic weekend on the trail for FoHT members of End2End Nifty 19โ€™s, hiking Sections 16 and 17 from The Nugget Road to Mount Crawford, then Mount Crawford to Pewsey Vale.

๐ŸŒฟ Saturday
We walked through wonderfully varied scenery โ€” from stringybark bushland and timber plantations to the Mount Crawford peaks. The undulating terrain provided plenty of challenges, but also rewarded us with beautiful views across the Barossa Range and the surrounding historic landscape.

โ›ฐ๏ธ Sunday
Beautiful winter weather greeted us as we climbed to the peak of Mount Crawford, then continued up to Tower Hill, where we stopped for a well-deserved toast and an interesting lesson about the Battle of Tower Hill โ€” be sure to read the August 2023 issue of Trailwalker for more about it. [See link below]

Reaching the 300km marker was certainly something to celebrate!

With great weather, stunning views, flowing creeks and waterways, and plenty of laughs along the way, it was another wonderful weekend shared with a fantastic group. Thanks to our volunteer walk leaders.

Saturday: Youโ€™ll travel along back roads and road reserves past iconic Barossa Valley vineyards and wineries. The small town of Greenock is a gateway into the cropping and grazing land of the Lower North, and youโ€™ll have a long but mainly flat walk with pleasant vistas and changing seasonal colours.
Sunday: This is an easy section of the Trail that runs through the northern part of Mount Crawford Forest and through the native bushland of Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park, with its unusual weathered rock features. Youโ€™ll see panoramic vistas over the Barossa Valley and the Lower North.

The pretty dairy pastures of Mt Compass and Nangkita provide the backdrop for the first section of this walk. Back roads then lead walkers through Finniss Conservation Park and into Mt Magnificent Conservation Park, where a short hike off the main trail rewards walkers with spectacular views from Mt. Magnificent over the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. A combination of native bushland and back-road walking completes the day.

Day 1: Burners Beach Bush Camp to Corny Point
Beautiful weather for this 17km hike weaving on & off the beach from Burners Beach to Corny Point on Walk the Yorke. Lovely beach scenery & luckily hard sand to walk on.

Day 2: Point Turton to Burners Beach Bush Camp
A shorter section of the Walk the Yorke from Point Turton which marks the โ€˜top of the footโ€ of the peninsular. Ideal weather again for this 13.5km hike. A fair bit of road walking with some beach walking to finish.
