multi-day bushwalks PTable from Adelaide
Posted: Sat 14 Jul, 2018 2:15 pm
Any good tips for actual wilderness multi-day hikes with camping within range of a bus/train from Adelaide?
I got all excited seeing the routes through the hills like Yurrebilla, Lavender and Heysen, but looks like there's no camping on either through the Lofty ranges, plus the wilds are interrupted by quite a lot of on-road and farmland stretches. Plus I get the sense a lot of the Heysen campsites cater for the drive-up-for-the-night-and-play-loud-music 4wd crowd. 1200km continuous bushwalk trail pig's *&%$#!.
There are good day walks around places like Belair and Cleland that I've stomped around, but I really want to spend several nights in a tent (say 3-7 or more). Stealth camping doesn't have that much appeal, as I like a proper composting toilet and preferably water. Digging a hole is dicey at best, and pissing off the ranger isn't my cup of tea.
Research so far is pointing me a bit further afield like the bottom end of the Heysen around the cape, up around Flinders (which looks *&%$#! spectactular) or maybe KI or the Investigator trail out of Lincoln.
