Barossa Country Walks Description
WARNING: The first download of the App includes a one-off 110 MB transfer of text and images.
This App has maps and walking notes for ten walks in the Barossa.
Each walk is straightforward for the average walker and can be accomplished within a day. The walks are in Conservation Parks, ForestrySA land and paddocks near vineyards with magnificent views. From the Barossa Goldfields in the west to Mt Pleasant in the east, the diversity of the walks highlights both the natural and the cultural features in this region.
The walks were established by the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia members and members of the Walking Trails Support Group. They are based on the Society’s guidebook Exploring the Barossa.
The information for each walk includes an introduction describing the highlights, distance, grade and access to the trail. There is also a zoomable topographical map and an interactive GPS track map that displays a blue dot indicating the walker’s location. The walk notes contain detailed information about history, geology, flora and fauna. The notes also have links to Flora, Fauna and Geology notes for those interested in delving deeper. If enabled, the App will alert the walker with an audible text message upon entering GPS range of a point of interest.
The App is updated regularly with the latest information and perhaps new walks, so users are encouraged to make use of the App’s ‘SYNCH’ feature which connects to the host website to download the latest content changes.
