Starting from the Bunyeroo car park on Bunyeroo Road, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, this walk takes you to the Wilpena Pound Visitor Centre via the Wilcolo Track. This hike follows a section of the Heysen and Mawson Trails alongside Wilcolo Creek between the ABC and Heysen Ranges, passing through white cypress pine woodland and tall river red gums, with stunning views of Wilpena Pound and the surrounding peaks. A diverse range of birds and animals can be seen along the way, including parrots, robins, wrens, eagles, emus, echidnas, kangaroos and rare yellow-footed rock wallabies. Before reaching the Wilpena Pound Visitor Centre, the hike passes the Wilcolo Campground, which sits among native pines, river red gums and wattles, offering picturesque camping options and toilet facilities. The hike also passes the Old Wilpena Station, one of South Australia's most significant pastoral settlements, displaying restored farm buildings, including an 1864 blacksmith's cottage. This loop consists of gently undulating fire tracks, with some uneven natural surfaces and creek crossings, suitable for average fitness levels. 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.
