SUMMARY:Waitpinga
DESCRIPTION:A harder Trail Starter due to rocky undulating and slippery track.\n\nFollowing the Heysen Trail we reach the rugged cliffs of the Newland Head Conservation Park where with weather permitting there is spectacular views along the coast line. Whales and dolphins have been seen from here. The rocky undulating track winds through coastal vegetation\, down into valleys and back up to view the sea again.\n\nLeaving the coast behind we walk inland with wide open views of farm land on the right and bush to the left. A sharp turn takes us into the bush where we should see many flowering wildflowers and maybe some orchids. Time will be given to enjoy this pretty area.\n\nLeaving the bush behind we will see the sea again before arriving back at our cars.\n\n \n\nIf the weather is bad on the day the walk will not go to the coast\, it will stay inland and be around 7km.

SUMMARY:E2E16 Tapanappa to Balquhidder
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled (We have received advice from DEW (Dept for Environment and Water) of deteriorating conditions throughout the area. Significant rain forecast overnight tonight and a thunderstorm expected tomorrow afternoon. Rain continuing throughout Sunday. Creeks will be up and there is a chance that the bus may not get into Balquidder in these conditions. So sorry for you guys. We will come up with a new date for this walk shortly. An email will follow this evening re a local walk on Sunday and the opportunity to socialise. Paul\, for the leadership group\n\n \n\nA bus is hired for End-to-End walks. Each walker will need to pay the bus fee in addition to their walk payment. See description of End to End walks. \nA picturesque section highlighting the diversity of the Heysen Trail. Photo opportunities abound\, and you might even spot a whale.\n\nThis walk starts with spectacular views to Tunkalilla Beach followed by a picturesque walk through dense bushland before a steep descent to Boat Harbor Beach.\n\nThe very testing 4km walk along Tunkalilla Beach is followed by a very steep climb up to Balquhidder which makes it a unique and very memorable section of the Heysen Trail.

There is many well known tracks within this park\, but we will also walk some that you may not be familiar with. Morialta is home to kangaroos\, koalas\, echidnas\, many bird species and lots of wildflowers. We will see dramatic cliffs and waterfalls as we complete a loop returning to the start.

SUMMARY:EE15 Walk 12 - Mylor-Cleland
DESCRIPTION:Although the most populous section of the trail\, it still retains a rural feel as walkers pass through the parks and bushland of Bridgewater\, Mt George Conservation Park\, Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens and into Cleland Conservation Park.\n\nBut we are now entering the Lofty Rangers and regular climbs and descends can be expected. The walk length is approximately 21km’s depending on final part of route taken. This is the 1st walk of 3 changeling walks along the lofty ranges.\n\n \n\n“The Heysen Trail walks are demanding and suitable for experienced walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain consisting of long-distance trails with some steep inclines/declines\, irregular surface with loose uneven\, slippery base. They have a walking time of about 5 to 7 hours and will require a good degree of physical fitness.”

SUMMARY:Mt Lofty To The Barossa
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity for walkers to experience another 6 memorable sections of the Heysen Trail in a “single hit” from where last year’s Fleurieu to Mt Lofty walk finished in the Cleland Conservation Park just below the summit of Mt Lofty to continue the journey north through more of the picturesque countryside of the Adelaide Hills into the southern reaches of the  Barossa Valley finishing a little north of Tanunda. The walks wend there way  through numerous delightful Conservation Parks and State Forest areas\, along undulating back roads\, and past vineyards and grazing lands with a few challenging hills thrown in for everyone’s pleasure.\n\nAnother full week of walking on the Trail designed to enable walkers especially those from beyond Adelaide\, whether from intrastate or interstate\, the opportunity to complete these beautiful sections in a single block rather than the normal schedule of an End to End group.\n\nThose walkers who undertook one or both the Fleurieu to Mt Lofty walk in 2021 or the South Coast walk in 2020 will be offered an Early Registration Link  to register for the weeks walking on Wednesday 20th July\, two weeks prior to the public opening of Registrations on Wednesday 3rd August.\n\nPlease note this an Extended Walk for people wanting to do the entire week of walking and not those wishing to do selected day walks.\n\nREGISTRATION REQUIRES PAYMENT  OF THE FULL EVENT FEE which covers all walk fees and bus costs. To register for these walks you must be a member of the Friends of the Heysen Trail.\n\nThe walk leaders are the same as for the 2 previous years weeks of walking.. All are currently leading End to End groups and have each completed the trail on one or more occasions.\n\nFor each walk\, walkers will need to drive themselves to the end location for the walk\, from where a bus will take them to the start of the walk. It should be noted the meeting location for each of the walks is generally around an hour’s drive or less from Adelaide. Those coming from interstate or intrastate locations may choose stay in Adelaide for the first 3 walks and then in the Barossa for the second 3 walks.\n\nExcept for the last walk\, all these walks are challenging\, especially the first 3 walks which include a number of steep climbs and tricky descents\, so please ensure you come well and truly physically prepared for a tough though rewarding week of walking on the Heysen Trail.\n\nGiven the continued and rising number of Covid cases we are asking all walkers TO COMPLETE A RA TEST in the 24 HOURS prior to the start of the walks on Monday 29th September.\n\nShould you have any questions about the walk please feel free to contact John Babister at: jpbabister@internode.on.net or on 0409616270

SUMMARY:Horsnell Gully /Giles CP (Grade 3)
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This is not an easy Trail Starter Hike.  Read below for all details before you book on this hike.\n\nWe will hike into Horsnell Gully and Giles Conservation Park to explore the Giles Ruins and look out for koalas along the way.  This is an out and back hike of 9km.  We will follow part of the Heysen Trail.\n\nMeet at 8.15am for briefing\, 8.30am start.\n\nThis is classified as a Grade 3\, Moderate hike. According to the walking track grading system\, this means it is suitable for most ages and fitness levels.  Tracks may have short steep hill sections\, a rough surface and many steps.\n\nOn this hike there are 2 major up sections\, along with 2 major down sections as well as some undulations\, a small creek crossing (no wet feet though)\, some fire track sections and narrow rocky path sections.\n\nWe should complete the hike in 3 1/2 to 4 hours.  Including time for morning tea at the Giles Ruins. Bring something to eat and drink for your morning tea. No facilities are accessible on this hike.\n\nAs we will be hiking in the first week of Spring\, the weather can be unpredictable so please be prepared for anything\, including warmer weather.  Always bring with you at least 2-3 litres of water\, there is no access to water during this hike.\n\nPotential hazards: Snakes are more active during Spring\, hence a good idea to have in your first aid kit a compression bandage/snake bandage.  Warm weather – bring plenty of water\, wear a sun hat\, sunscreen and clothing layers so you can cool down as needed.                                                Slippery/Rocky paths – be careful with your footing and wear appropriate shoes to ensure good grip.\n\nGroup Hiking etiquette – we hike single file when on a narrow trail in order to be careful of the delicate flora that often borders trails\, we try to designate a “tail ender” who stays at the back of the group in order to make sure nobody gets lost or hurt without anyone knowing\, we may have to slow down or speed up to create a median speed that is bearable for everyone\, we adhere to “leave no trace” principles (take out what you bring in\, including toilet paper)\, be courteous of others\, do not go ahead of the nominated leader\, be aware of who is hiking in front of and behind you\, if you cannot see anyone behind you\, stop and wait for them to catch up\, this ensures everyone is within sight of each other.\n\n \n\nBIOSECURITY 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.

SUMMARY:Nugget Rd-Mt Crawford with End To End 14
DESCRIPTION:The Heysen Trail walks are demanding and suitable for experienced walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain consisting of long-distance trails with some steep inclines/declines\, irregular surface with loose uneven\, slippery base. They have a walking time of about 5 to 7 hours and will require a good degree of physical fitness.\n\nThis section combines several sections of Mt Crawford pine forest with the natural bushland of Warren Conservation Park and Little Mt Crawford to provide a picturesque and diverse walk.\n\nThis walk begins with a short walk-in (1.2km) before passing through a small section of native bushland. After a few km. of road walking the trail enters the spectacular Warren Conservation Park\, climbing steadily through dense bushland. Open grazing land with panoramic views follows\, before heading back into the Mount Crawford forest then along a beautifully constructed boardwalk before crossing Warren Rd and into more scrubland over Little Mount Crawford.

SUMMARY:Lobethal Bushland Reserve
DESCRIPTION:Pleasant circular walk in Lobethal Bushland Park just outside of Lobethal. The trails in the park were through heritage-listed bush but the park was burnt out in the December 2019 Adelaide Hills bush fire. Through the care of passionate volunteers\, the park has been remarked and is showing signs of incredible regrowth. There are also exciting signs that kangaroos\, echidnas and bird life are returning. We will walk through trails which have been burnt\, but there are wonderful signs of regrowth on some of the trees and also the undergrowth. Slopes are mostly gradual. A good walk for new walkers and families\, with toilets and a picnic/bbq area at walk completion.\n\n\n\nBIOSECURITY 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.

SUMMARY:Cape Jervis/ Cobbler Hill
DESCRIPTION:Commencing at Cape Jervis\, the coastal scenery along this region of the Fleurieu Peninsula is second to none\, and is a lovely walk along the first section of the Heysen Trail. The trail begins with a meander along sandy coastal tracks and exposed hillsides\, with views of Kangaroo Island and the dynamic Southern Ocean over your right shoulder. Walkers are often rewarded with sightings of seals & dolphins. The trail gradually develops into several undulations further along as you approach Blow Hole Beach within the Deep Creek Conservation Park. The walk ends after a much-anticipated hill climb for approx. 2km through native vegetation back to the vehicles.\n\nThis walk is a great introductory walk for those who are interested in undertaking the entire Heysen Trail\, those who want to catch up a section\, anyone wanting to relive this section of the Fleurieu Peninsula.\n\nA bus will transport us from the vehicles to the start of the walk.\n\nPlease note: the bus does NOT transport walkers from Adelaide to the walk. After registration\, walkers will be given directions to drive their vehicle to the meeting point which will be at the END point of the day’s walk. The cars remain at the meeting location\, and the bus transports the group from the cars to the walk start point. From there\, the group walks back to the cars.\n\nTo participate in this walk\, you need to pay for the bus whether you’re using it or not .\n\nBIOSECURITY 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.
