MCLAREN VALE, SA

The southern end of South Australia's great long-distance walking track, the Heysen Trail reaches the sea on the Fleurieu Peninsula, winding through coastal heath, clifftop farmland and conservation park between Cape Jervis and the beaches beyond. Walkers take it in day sections - the stretch through Deep Creek, high above the Backstairs Passage with Kangaroo Island across the water, is among the finest coastal walking in the state. Wildflowers colour the heath in spring, and echidnas and kangaroos are common. The full trail runs twelve hundred kilometres to the Flinders Ranges; this is its wild coastal beginning.
