City of Playford

Join the Friends of the Heysen Trail on a hike in Para Wirra Conservation Park.

This is a bush-walk through very picturesque country linking the major features in the park. The scenery rivals some areas of the Flinders Ranges with its beauty, and the proximity to Adelaide is a bonus. Birds of prey and colored birds in addition to native animals can be seen in the quieter northern parts of the park.

The terrain provides a good training ground for end-to-end walks etc, as the route will be undulating, incorporating some significant climbs and gentle descents. The return to the start point will be via a more recent established track.

First-time trail walkers are encouraged to participate, a strategy for group cohesion will be in place. The walk distance is about 14km, consisting of a loop from the Devils Nose car park via the Goldfields and return by a different route. Some sections are narrow with tripping hazard requiring undivided attention, please stop walking to admire the view in these areas.

Meeting point: Meeting location details will be provided after you have registered for this walk.

Bookings: This event costs $10 per person (under 18 years of age are $1). Book online, registrations close 3pm Friday 3 May.
