Starting from the Bunyeroo car park on Bunyeroo Valley Road, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, this walk takes you through Bunyeroo Gorge and back via the Bunyeroo Gorge Hike. Bunyeroo Creek cuts through the rugged Heysen Range, forming Bunyeroo Gorge over 600 million years, where ancient seabeds preserved in the rock reveal the area was once the ocean floor. The Bunyeroo Gorge Hike winds through the scenic gorge along the creek bed lined with river red gums, passing many interesting rock formations and informative signs detailing specific geological features. Plenty of wildlife can be seen in the gorge, including birds, emus, kangaroos, wallaroos and wallabies. This hike mainly follows the creek bed and is fairly flat, with some uneven rocky surfaces and many creek crossings, suitable for average fitness levels. The drive along Bunyeroo Valley Road is a bit rough but offers spectacular views along the way, passing the iconic Razorback Lookout. There are several campsites in the area, with basic facilities such as drop toilets and firepits. Bunyeroo Creek flows through the gorge, so caution is advised after heavy rainfall. 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.
