Our walk takes around 2 hours on various easy and moderate trails, and includes an invitation to connect with wise old river red gums and ancient creek beds. We enjoy a picnic lunch here too.

Today is our biggest day of walking, we take on the Dutchman’s Stern – a stunning 11km hike again with the most amazing views of the Conservation Park and wider Flinders Ranges all the way to the Spencer Gulf. We will pack lunch and enjoy a picnic along the way, returning to our accommodation for our final evening with grazing platters while watching a magnificent Flinders sunset. Optional yoga session and therapeutic foot bath this afternoon.
