As sone of you will be aware, the heavy rain over the weekend of 29/30 August caused flash flooding in the Adelaide Hills. The Warren .Bonython bridge at Mylor and the bridge connecting the Hale and Warren were both destroyed. Pending reviews I cannot say when, or indeed if, the bridges will be rebuilt. I will let you knCM as soon as we receive IOC>re information. The Adelaide Central Mission, under a contract with Recreation S.A., has built a new bridge over MeaC!cMs Creek adjacent to the golf course next to the Kuitpo Forest and Knott Hill. The completion of the bridge will now allCM a re-route of the Trail through the forest taking the walker further to the north-west on this section; IOC>re details later. Trail maintenance has continued with various teams carrying out much needed \«)rk. Areas include the south coast in the vicinity of Balquhidder, Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley. A significant event, which passed unnoticed · by llX)St of us, was the completion of marking of the whole Trail. This occurred in September when Hugh Greenhill and Joylene McCann of the Burra Branch completed the marking of a three kilonetre stretch south-east of Spalding. The Trail is now marked; there are a few minor \«)rks still required but, with very great credit to all concerned, the Heysen Trail has been completed four years ahead of the projected date of 1996. Having said that, I must reiterate that a lot IOC>re ·\«)rk is required; improved marking, re-routing, and making gcxxi after vandalism, for example. New Network Trails will also be developed as will overnight accorruoodation - ranging from basic camp sites with water tank to comfortable huts. Exciting tines. To conclude. The part of the Trail from Wilpena Chalet, south-west across the Pound to Bridle Gap, and from M:>ralana. Drive to a mid point tc:Mards Mayo Cottage off the Elder Range has recently been re-marked. Ambiguous marking and all marks on live trees have now been reiOC>ved. I ~d appreciate walkers' cOimJen.ts on the marking of this and any other sections of the Trail. Please note that the \«)rkshop location will change very shortly to Kidman Park. The IOC>ve is being arranged by the Depar1::lrent and should occur by the end of the year. Mike Fretwell, Trails Co-ordinator GET WELL SOON MESSAGES There are possibly many sickies out there with the persistent wet weather and to each of them we extend sincere Get Well greetings. AIOC>ng those who have cone to my notice are John Sulnners who is I'lCM undergoing bypass heart surgery following treabnent for a heart attack; Rob Hill who was treated for a heart related problem; and Tom Thomasson who is recovering from trea1::lrent to both knees.

A.O. 4 ( •• •• •• •• •• •• • • •• •• •• .. • • FRIENDS OF PARA WIRRA RECREATION PARK Dear Friends, I am the Publicity Officer for Friends of Para Wirra. On 19 September I met some of your members on their way to Humbug Scrub to work. I was told that some walkers w:mld like to see an extension made to the Lizard Rock Track in Para Wirra. I mentioned this to our President, Ted Hughes, and he said that he had in mind getting permission to mark two other trails, one in the area of two dams near Humbug Scrub and the other the old Nursery Farm access road, some of which has disappeared. He was interested in what I told him about extending Lizard Track. I am enclosing a copy of our work prograJD~JES in anticipation that some of your helpers can spare some time for us and maybe, with the Ranger's permission, extend the Lizard Track. Yours sincerely, (Signed) (Mrs.) Isabel Colman For the interest and information of our CM11. members who may wish to assist, the programme of activities for Para Wirra is listed below.

  • Arkaba Adventure
    On top of the Red Range at golden hour, you can look out past the grass trees, across Wilpena Pound towards the Elder Range. SOUTH AUSTRALIA Wilpena Pound Arkaba adventure Adelaide Nobody would dispute the fact Rimmed by spectacular ochre-coloured cliffs and wending its way that South Australia’s Flinders past ancient red gums and through wildflower-studded grasslands, Ranges are spectacular. this four-day Flinders Ranges walk is a captivating must-do. This region’s rugged terrain, rolling hills, deep valleys and ancient waterways offer a sense of true remoteness. Story and photography by Justin Walker Wilpena Pound and neighbouring Arkaba Conservancy are two of the ranges’ most popular destinations – par- ticularly for bushwalkers – with a variety of short, long and very long tracks to follow, allowing experienced walkers the chance to really immerse themselves in this region of Australia. But that doesn’t mean those with less time, fitness or walking experience can’t enjoy exploring these areas. In fact, joining a guided walking adventure here can lead to a richer experience…which is exactly what I discovered on the Arkaba Walk. STEP INTO GREATNESS Crossing some of Australia’s most spectacular and varied terrain, the fully guided and supported Arkaba Walk takes four days and three nights, staying at historic shepherd and station camps. It winds its way from the beautiful natural amphitheatre surrounded by mountains known as Wilpena Pound, and heads across the forested interior of the Pound itself, before traversing the private Arkaba Conservancy wilderness (see page 110) and finishing at the restored Arkaba Homestead.

PRINT POST APPROVED PP56500 1100079 Greening Gawler Two generations meet to help green our trails Richard Schmitz and Barbara Rundle •• •• •• •• ··7~7~w~·· •• •• •• •• PRESIDENT'S REPORT Vandalism continues to be a problem on The Trail , particularly on those sections close to the metropolitan area. At times the damage seems to be mindless and random , and other times, more malevolent, with logoes repositioned to send walkers on a course at right angles to the correct one. As with graffiti, possibly one of the best deterrents is to rectify the damage as soon as possible, so the persons responsible do not get any lasting gratification from their deeds. It is important therefore, in the interest of safety and as a deterrent to vandals, that any damage to the trails is reported as soon as possible, so immediate repairs can be organised. To this end, it is also important that we have a pool of volunteers willing to form working parties at short notice. Thanks to Shirley and Malcolm Tavender for prompt repair after a recent instance. As reported elsewhere, I recently had the pleasure of leading 27 walkers on a day walk to Marschalls Hut. Everybody was very favourably impressed, and a big thanks must go to the Officers from Rec. S.A. responsible, the workers from Bryan Place who did the restorations, and to property owner James Huppatz. The best way to give thanks is to use the Hut regularly, fill in the Log Book, and help with any maintenance requ ired .
