Essentially, of course, the primary function of the magazine is a communication link between the Project Officer and volunteers who mark and maintain the walking trails. landowners. Recreation S.A., local government authorities and those members who participate in the walking programme. It is an information source for all walkers about the state of the trails, the walking programme and the walking report. Ideally, those members who have joined primarily to participate in the walking programme will recognise the need of all walkers to contribute in some way towards the maintenance of our trails. whether as a volunteer with a working party or reporting problems noticed along the trails. lan Jays, our Project Officer, has made this opportunity available to all members by providing a Trail Report Form to be included with each issue. All Friends are urged to be observant and to report difficulties encountered with marking so that lan can arrange for problems to be rectified.

PROUDLY SPONSORED BY THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT THROUGH RECREA110N SA EDITOR: DOUG PAICE Cover Photo: - WomenTrek 2 •• • •• •• •• •• ··7~7~w~·· •• • • PRESIDENT'S REPORT After considerable discussion at Council and committee meetings, and meetings with Office of Recreation and Sport personnel, the Council has offered Friends' funds for trail projects as follows :- Accommodation at Dutchman's Stern Conservation Park - $10000 Supply and installation of two water tanks and toilets at selected locations, up to $1000 each. Assistance with the installation of a bridge in Warren Conservation Park, up to $1700. Rossi Boots will also sponsor the supply and installation of a water tank and toilet. This generous donation is gratefully acknowledged. It should be noted that the money going to hut accommodation will be an addition to a grant of money going to Adelaide Central Mission to employ homeless men on hut restoration projects, which are very labour intensive. The Friends of the Heysen Trail will receive full recognition for these contributions. Other matters that the Council and Walking Committee are currently investigating are insurance and our membership fee structure (the two are intertwined). The Walking Federation has for some time been investigating an insurance scheme in which all affiliated clubs could take part. A group meeting with an Insurance Broker will take place in early November. It will then be a matter of the cost/benefits of what is offered in comparison with out present cover. I believe that in this day and age, it is irresponsible for any organisation conducting walks not to have appropriate cover against liability for walkers and leaders. It is possible that the name and telephone number of one or two people who have volunteered to help with Trailwalker typing and or staffing the office have inadvertently been lost, probably by yours truly. If you have volunteered and have had no response, please forgive human frailty and renew your offer. Arthur Smith, PRESIDENT NOTICE Office Hours - We are still having difficulty attracting enough volunteers to keep the office open every day. For the present, we hope to keep the office open during following hours. They may vary depending upon transport arrangements, etc. of volunteers. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Hopefully 9.30a.m.-2.45 p.m. Closed 9.30a.m.-2.45p.m. 9.30 a.m.- 9.30a.m.- 2.45p.m. 2.45p.m. every second Monday 3 •• •• • •• •• •• ··7tw7~w~·· •• • • RECREATION S.A. - HEYSEN TRAIL UPDATE WORKS PROGRAMME RE-ROUTES Map 1 - Due to current and future heavy logging in the Kuitpo Forest, several re-routes will be established. So far only one re-route is in place as this was the most urgent. The re-route begins approximately 200 metres north of Razorback Road and heads NNE along the fence-line at the edge of the pine plantation, then cuts south-easterly to the crossing of Jupiter Creek. Normally the trail would head easterly then northerly before heading easterly again to the crossing at Jupiter Creek. The new route will be safer and easier to follow. Once harvesting is completed in the area, the trail can be re-established along a more suitable route. Another re-route will be developed north of the crossing of Jupiter Creek as this area will be extensively harvested in the future. It is proposed that the trail follow the western boundary of the forest land next to the E& WS , Mount Bold catchment land until it reaches Long Gully near the Jupiter Creek Goldfields. The last re-route at Kuitpo will be in the Knott Hill area, north of Wicks Road. This area is being harvested now so an alternative route near the eastern boundary will be established shortly. It will mean the Onkeeta Trail section will be bypassed for a while as harvesting and plantation re-establishment is undertaken. Another change to the Trail will be put in place shortly. The Heysen Trail near Myler will now follow the Strathalbyn Road on the western side rather than the eastern verge. The change will not affect details on the map, but it will alter the trail on the ground. The new route will head north along the road after the Silver Lake Road corner for about 100 metres before heading into a Council reserve. The trail will follow the road through this reserve until it reaches the CFS Station where it will use an existing service road parallel to the main road. Once over the Aldgate Creek bridge the trail will cross the road and head for the Myler Recreation Reserve. This re-alignment provides a safer way through the town and over the bridge and also means walkers will not have to cross the road to visit shops or use a telephone. Map 2- Mount Crawford Forest has also been affected by harvesting and replanting. One re­ route has been established on the eastern side of Warren Road , opposite Chalks campground due to the existing track being removed and planted with pines. The new route goes north along the fence for about 200 metres, then heads easterly before rejoining the Trail. Another re-route in Mount Crawford takes walkers away from the South Para River crossing that has been frequently disturbed by flooding. The old route heads down off Little Mount Crawford then once over the fence turns to the east, crossing the river when it is low. The new route, after the fence, now heads westerly between the pine forest and the native scrub then heads north for a short time along a forest track before heading east again out to Mount Road. This re-route should remove some of the repetition of following the creek and reduce the risk of people attempting to cross the river when it is flowing. 4 · •. •· •. •· ··7~ 7:,;w~ •· •• •• •• RE-MARKING Map 8- Recently a Project Officer and two Jobskills workers spent a day replacing the silver droppers east of Fishery Beach to Campbell Creek (about three kilometres) with square wooden posts. It is hoped that the re-marking will reach Deep Creek within the next few months. At a later date replacement of the droppers with square posts will continue along the Trail. Map 13 - Two Project Officers and two Jobskills workers spent several days in the Bundaleer Forest area re-marking the Trail with wooden posts. Marking began at Curnows Hut and continued through the forest west then south towards Wirrilla. In all, about twelve kilometres of trail was re-marked. YOUTH TREK 94 - CLOSING CEREMONY The Official closing ceremony of the Commonwealtb Bank Trek 94 was held at the Mount Lofty summit on Friday, 23 September. 1994. Trek 94 began in June this year when Marion High, the first of 41 school and community groups commenced the first stage from Mount Babbage in the northern Flinders Ranges. From there groups walked and cycled in relay the length of the Flinders and Mount Lofty Ranges and also the south coast of Kangaroo Island. The total disance that students covered in three and a half months was almost 2500 kms. The last three groups, Augusta Park High, St. Ann's Special School and the Adelaide Mountain Bike Club converged on Mount Lofty Summit where approximately 200 people celebrated the end of Trek and watched as Mrs. Dorothy Kotz, Member for Newland, accepted the students' journals, mascots, message sticks and banners which had travelled the entire distance with the groups. Mrs. Kotz applauded the project which develops students' appreciation of their natural environment and develops self-reliance and leadership skills by experiencing challenge, adventure and realistic decision making . Recreation S.A. thanks the sponsors of Trek 94 for their valuable support - Commonwealth Bank, Scout Outdoor Centre.

  • 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 .
