The trail crosses some of the state’s most varied and challenging terrain, while taking you on a journey through several national parks and conservation areas. Flinders Ranges National Park boundary It’s considered one of three long distance walking trails in Australia, with the other two being the Bibbulmun Track in WA (1000km) and the Australian Alps Walking Track through Victoria, NSW and the ACT (650 km).To complete a full thru-hike of the Heysen Trail, the average time is somewhere between 50-65 days.
