Bushwalking at Bendleby Ranges

If you love the bush, you will enjoy bushwalking in the Bendleby Ranges.  Walk amongst the native flora and fauna in the fresh air, and listen to the local birdlife.  Maybe discover an echidna, or an emu nest, or….

New maps, with gradings, will give you choices of short or long walks – easy or demanding.  Talk to our staff and try some of the suggested walks in the Bendleby and Hungry Ranges.

Great views from the tops of the hillsWhen walking in the hills, we suggest you take:

  • Water and snacks
  • Protection from the sun
  • Good walking shoes
  • A jacket for the cooler part of the day

Progressive and leisure walkers are also able to pre-organise tailored routes with staff to suit individual needs of time, distance, and expertise. Walkers can arrange meeting points where water and firewood can be supplied, creating a safe and monitored, yet tranquil, experience.

I thoroughly enjoy the creeks and bushwalking each time I have been here – just so peaceful and sleepy, hidden away from the “rat race”.   Frieda & Gerald Robb, Morphett Vale, 0417815661
