Starting near the Wilpena Pound Visitor Centre at the end of Wilpena Road, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, this walk takes you to Malloga Falls and back via the Mallonga Falls Hike. This is one of the longer walks in the Flinders Ranges, exploring a challenging trail to the remote Malloga Falls, a set of twin falls in Edeowie Gorge, a deep gorge draining from Wilpena Pound out to the northwestern plains. The hike follows a gently undulating track through the Pound Gap, passing the historic Hills Homestead, then traverses the floor of the Pound to its northwestern edge. After passing Cooinda Camp, the track heads through rocky terrain to Edeowie Gorge, ending with a short steep descent to Malloga Falls, which only flows after heavy rains. This hike consists of fire tracks and narrow walking trails, with some short steep hills and rocky surfaces, suitable for moderately experienced bushwalkers with navigational skills. Bushwalkers must discuss their route with the Wilpena Pound Visitor Centre staff before starting this hike. The trail is closed during the summer months of December, January and February. Dogs are not permitted in this park. 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.
