About the Walking Trail
The rolling hills of the Bunyeroo Valley present a gentler face of the Flinders Ranges. Even though Bunyeroo Valley does not scale the heights of Wilpena Pound, it provides rewarding views of the peaks, making it an enjoyable outing for the whole family. The walking trail begins on the purplish shales and open cypress pine woodland of the Bunyeroo Formation and Wilcolo Creek. The trail then follows a small creek through the ABC Range (quartzite) to the gentle rolling country of Brachina Formation siltstones, characteristically vegetated with silver wattle. The return to the car park follows Bunyeroo Creek.
Note there are 2 distinct parts of this hike which can sometimes be easily confused with each other:
- Wilcolo Creek Hike, sometimes called the Bunyeroo and Wilcolo Creeks Hike, 9.3km loop View brochure
- Bunyeroo Gorge Hike, a 7.5km return hike
