Journey

This section of the trail is 49 kilometers but accessible from many towns adjacent to the trail. Loop and spur trails of varying lengths connect these towns to the main trail or can also be used as a separate walk starting & finishing at the same location.
Springton to Keynes Gap, 11 kilometers.
The main trail is accessed using a section of the Springton Loop trail along Hamilton Road from the nearby Herbig Tree to the main trail on O Herbig Road.
A series of road reserves and minor roads lead to Keynes Gap and Marne Rocks, both attractive photogenic locations. The southern leg of the Eden Valley Loop Trail connects with the main trail near Keynes Gap.
Keynes Gap to Keyneton,12 kilometers.
Heading north, the trail follows a shallow valley to a long cross-country section along a ridge with extensive views east & west. Onto Saw Mill Road, the Keyneton Spur Trail (3.5 km) heads easterly at this location. Reaching Angaston Road, Keyneton is 1 km east.
Keyneton to Moculta.
Continuing north, the trail follows minor roads and road reserves. Near Moculta, Parrot Hill Road is reached. Head north to Keyneton Road. Keyneton is 1km east.
Highlights in this section include well-preserved dry-stone walls, historical monuments, vineyards and old churches.
Moculta to Truro Spur Trail, 9 kilometers.
The trail leaves Keyneton Road on Gum Flat Road where there are some interesting signs. Heading west, the Swan Reach-Stockwell pipeline is followed for a short distance. Where the trail heads north, look out for the Shannon Mausoleum amongst the trees.
A long straight off-road section over undulating countryside takes you to Coppermine Road.
Truro Spur to Sturt Highway, 5 kilometers.
The trail heads north for 500 metres then heads east onto private property. Initially following an old stone wall, turns north then drops into a spectacular gorge with permanent water. Heavy rain may make this section impassable. Through the gorge, climb out of the gorge up the ridge heading north to a road reserve, the extension of Coppermine Road to the Sturt Highway.
