Starting from the Fisherman Point Campground off Donington Road, Lincoln National Park, this walk takes you to Cape Donington. Lincoln National Park is a rugged peninsula that boasts some of the most scenic coastlines in South Australia, with granite headlands, sheltered bays, sandy beaches and offshore islands, featuring an exten­sive net­work of walk­ing trails that pass through native scrub and wood­land, across beach­es and along clifftops where visitors may spot sea-eagles, dolphins or whales. The park encompasses the vast Sleaford-Wanna sand dune system and the beautiful Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area, protecting important coastal vegetation of the Eyre Peninsula and providing habitat for rare fauna such as heath goannas, western whipbirds and the bush stone-curlew. This moderately challenging walk winds through coastal heath and across sandy beaches along the coastline between Fisherman Point and Cape Donington, offering spectacular views of Surfleet Point, Port Lincoln, Boston Bay and Donington Island, which is home to Australian sea lions and long-nosed fur seals. Western grey kangaroos, emus and goannas can often be spotted near the Cape Donington Lighthouse, a 32 metres high hexagonal tower built in 1905. The trail also passes the historic Donington Cottage, built in 1899 and now used as holiday accommodation. Fisherman Point, Engine Point and Cape Donington all have white sandy beaches with safe, sheltered waters that are ideal for swimming. The walk begins from the Fisherman Point Campground, which is suitable for tents, car­a­vans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets and fire pits. This walk consists of narrow, gently undulating walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces and sandy surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Blackwood Oval car park on Craigburn Road, Craigburn Farm, this walk takes you on a circuit around Blackwood Hill Reserve via the Oval Link, Border Line Green, Magpie Creek West, Gully Blue and Clematis Connector tracks. Blackwood Hill Reserve is one of Mitcham Council's off-leash dog parks, adjoining Sturt Gorge Recreation Park on its western boundary, and is popular for walking, jogging, horse riding, mountain biking and dog exercising. Magpie Creek runs through the reserve, which has an abundance of natural beauty and open space, containing grey box grassy woodlands and diverse plant species such as blue gum, Christmas bush, rock fern hollyhock and river bottlebrush. The reserve features a number of shared-use trails, including the Tom Roberts Horse Trail, as well as two playgrounds and access to the football club oval, with excellent views of the surrounding Mitcham Hills. This loop consists of well-signposted, gently undulating fire tracks and shared-use trails, with some uneven natural surfaces, suitable for walkers and cyclists of average fitness levels. Dogs are allowed off-leash but must be kept under effective control at all times. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
