Walk The Yorke Port Rickaby to Port Turton

What to expect

The weekend will be two sections along the Walk the Yorke

 

Section one: Port Rickaby to Port Milacowie (20km)

The varies trail will cover beaches and inland tracks that wind through coastal sand dunes and farmlands. Bring your camera, as the bird life is a real treat. Weaving onto and out of the beach, experiencing a rock pool eco system. We will come across old wooden davit structures at the base of the cliff, which were once a part of a manual boat-winching system.

Section two: Port Milacowie to Point Turton (21.5 km)

Starting the day with a spectacular beach walk, complete with rock-pools and bird life we go back in time when we arrive in Hardwick Bay, full of traditional holiday shacks. We continue our walk to Flaherty Beach, which earned acclaim in a 2021 TikTok video as ‘the best beach you’ve probably never heard of’.

BIOSECURITY MEASURES – Please ensure you thoroughly clean your footwear, clothing, walking poles and other equipment before and after each walk to remove all seeds, dirt and other debris. Removed seeds should be bagged and disposed in a ‘to landfill’ garbage bin.

If the forecast temperature for Adelaide is equal or higher than 32C, walks are cancelled. For simplicity, this can be determined the night prior to the walk from the 7.00 pm ABC News Adelaide weather forecast, based upon the Bureau of Meteorology’s routine 4pm forecast.

Your Walk Leader will send an email to all walkers advising the walk is cancelled. We suggest you check your emails before leaving to join the walk. Even if the forecast temperature is later revised, the walk remains cancelled. In such a case walk fees will be refunded.

If unforeseen circumstances arise and you are no longer able to participate in the walk, please cancel your registration as soon as possible using the Manage Walk Registrations facility on your Account page.

Alternatively you can notify the office by 2.15pm on the last business day before the walk. Walk leaders do not have access to messages left on the answering machine after this time. If your Walk Leader has provided their mobile phone number you may be able to contact them prior to the walk (subject to phone service availability).
