8.1 km circuit

2 h to 3 h

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Starting from the Trezona Campground off Brachina Gorge Road, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit around Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park via the Trezona Hike. One of South Australia's most popular tourist destinations, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park is home to ancient rugged mountain ranges, dramatic gorges, peaceful tree-lined creeks and abundant wildlife. This walk explores the Trezona Formation, which contains evidence of some of the earliest known life forms on Earth, dating from the Ediacaran Period. The walk initially follows Enorama Creek across the flat open country adjacent to the Trezona Range, which was heavily grazed when the area was still a pastoral estate, then descends into the creek bed to the Golden Spike, a significant geological site marked by a Geosite post. After crossing Enorama Creek, the walk passes between the Elatina and Trezona formations, then crosses Brachina Gorge Road and Etina Creek before reaching Middlesight Water Hut, used by walkers of the Heysen Trail. From there, the walk follows Etina Creek across the Trezona Formation, then crosses Brachina Gorge Road again before returning to the campground. The walk begins from the Trezona Campground, which is suitable for tents, caravans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets, picnic tables and fire pits. This walk consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted 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.
