What you’ll experience hiking Section 40 of the Trail
It’s a day of ascents and descents, but you’ll be richly rewarded with diverse scenery and great views. Following the ridgeline on fire access tracks through the dense natural scrub of the Telowie Gorge Conservation Park you’ll enjoy views over Port Germein and across the gulf to Whyalla and Port Bonython. After turning off the ridgeline a steep descent leads you along Sheepyard Track then up to Rocky Ridge before you’ll turn north through old harvested pine forest. A steep climb to Sugargum Lookout provides more views of the Gulf. The Trail continues along the Wirrabara Greenway through a private property to end on White Park just south of Yellow Cutting Roads.
