Easy track
The Chookarloo Walk is a short circuit starting from the Chookarloo Campground, partially following the Heysen Trail. The walk takes you through the shady pine forest and is pet-friendly, making it a great option for those travelling with pets. Additionally, the fallen trees around and along the trail are excellent opportunities for kids to have fun. Keep an eye out for interesting butterfly species as well. The track is marked with yellow & green markers and is shared with bikes. There is one toilet available at the start of the walk. 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.
