Heysen Trail

If you’ve dreamed of walking South Australia's renowned multi-day Heysen Trail but don’t have the time, you can still get a taste for it with one of the many short walks on offer. Try the Cape Jervis to Cobbler Hill section for spectacular coastal views over Backstairs Passage out to Kangaroo Island. Look closely to see seals along the coastline and dolphins swimming by. The trail follows sandy coastal tracks and exposed coastal hillsides. At Blowhole Beach the trail then enters Deep Creek Conservation Park where you’ll begin the long climb through native bushland to Cobbler Hill. Another memorable section of the Heysen Trail is the 15km trail from Moralana Drive to Wilpena. You’ll start off walking beside a creek through Black Gap before climbing the Pound Range to Bridle Gap. Enjoy expansive views of Elder Range before entering Flinders Range National Park.
