The Heysen Trail
Blog entry links listed below in geographical order, rather than chronological order (blog entries on this site in chronological order). However, I did start at the beginning of the trail at Cape Jervis, and finished the trail at the end of the trail, at Parachilna Gorge, in August 2008. The maps below refer to the official guidebooks, 'S' referring to the Southern Guidebook, and 'N' referring to the Northern Guidebook.

GPS Maps
A note about the GPS maps appearing on this blog. Prior to September, 2007, all Google Maps are mash-ups, drawn on-screen. Initially, I favoured the satellite image as the determining where to draw the trail, but later I started to rely on the map view to determine where to mark the track - this being more accurate when satellite images would later be updated (the map and satelite often don't closely match up). As of September, 2007, all maps are generated from a GPS unit, so can be considered accurate (particularly when looking at the map view). Of course that doesn't stop me from wandering off the trail... |

Hi Jeremy
G'day...Good to here walking the Heysen Trail for youngsters is present. A mate and myself are off to Parachilna next Tuesday the 11th of September so it's interesting to here your comments of weird and wonderful taste. We hope to make it to Mt Lofty in 4 weeks but may deviate depending on our need for a warm bed or cold beer. What ever the case maybe, the Flinders will certainly have a lot to offer...kind regards David
Thanks
David McGraw
