The Heysen TrailSouth Australia's Heysen Trail is a 1,200 km walking trail that extends from Cape Jervis, on the rugged south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, to Parachilna Gorge, in the Flinders Ranges. The Heysen Trail, one of the world's great long distance walking trails, passes through some of South Australia's most diverse & breathtaking landscapes, traversing coastal areas, native bushland, rugged gorges, pine forests and vineyards, as well as rich farmland and historic towns. The Trail has been designed to cater for both the serious backpacker walking the complete trail, and for the day walker who might choose to do short walks along different sections of the trail.
The Friends of the Heysen TrailThe Heysen Trail is maintained by the not-for-profit organisation The Friends of the Heysen Trail, who are dedicated to the maintenance and development of walking trails; and to the promotion of bushwalking as a healthy leisure activity. A regular walking program is conducted, with different grades of walks catering from beginners to experienced walkers.
