Important Information: Trail Status Updates

Section 2: The road crossing of Main South Rd. at Sellicks Hill is currently very difficult to navigate due to road works as part of the duplication of the Aldinga/Sellicks road. Concrete barriers have been installed on both sides of Main South Rd & the eastern end of Sellicks Beach Rd has been closed. Until road works have been completed suggest walkers finish Section 2 at the Victory Hotel. Please keep this in mind if you are doing a car shuffle & park in the Victory Hotel car park.

Section 5: there are no or few signs at present between the northern end of Maslin Beach and the southern end of Moana Beach. Please follow path at the edge of the beach, the rocks near the edge and the beach over this 1.2 km stretch which can be quite challenging. Do not go up onto the cliff which is a conservation area and culturally sensitive. Look out for the marked hooded plover sites. Please refer to Section 5 description. The total distance between Maslins Beach (Frank Hilton Reserve) and Moana at Pedlers Creek estuary is 3.6km.

Section 7: As at 28/10/24 there was water in Peter Creek where Section 7 crosses. Max. depth 650 mm.

Section 8: A detour is in place between the start of the section in Kangarilla and part way through the forest. The detour route follows Glory Rd, Peters Creek Rd and enters the forest off Peters Creek Rd. It then crosses the forest to join Willunga Basin Trail on the northern edge of the forest. This is to avoid Bone Gully Forest which is closed due to Forestry operations.
