The bushwalk up to Devil's Peak is steep in
places and is recommended for experienced and fit walkers. It may take 2 - 3 hours for the
return journey, but you will see a large variety of native vegetation, wildflowers, birds
and get a fantastic panoramic view at the summit (670 metres above sea level) and along
the way. |

If you have extra time available,
rather than return straight to Quorn, travel back along the Devil's Peak turnoff road and
turn right along the Richman Valley Road. This will take you a further 10 km through
farming country to Waukarie Falls (usually dry) and the start of the Mt Brown Conservation
Park Bush Walks at Olive Grove Trailhead. From here (14 km south of Quorn along the
Richman Valley Road) there are two walks (no steep sections) to choose from:
-
A 15 km loop walk including the spur track to Mt Brown
summit normally takes 7- 8 hours.
-
Allow 6 hours for the other walk, which is 11.6 km (5.8 km
one way), for the return journey to the summit of Mt Brown.
The altitude range of these walks is from 410 metres at the
trailhead to 970 metres at the summit. |

Mount Remarkable National
Park |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This park is situated just south of Wilmington in the southern
Flinders Ranges.
It is a meeting place of the
arid north and the wetter southern regions of South Australia,
and contains a fascinating mix of flora and fauna from both
areas.
There are two major access
points on the eastern side of the ranges. Mount Remarkable
itself is the backdrop to Melrose, 24km south of Wilmington and
is only accessible to walkers. Alligator Gorge may be reached
via a picturesque drive commencing 1km south of Wilmington on
Main North Road (unsuitable for caravans). |
