Welcome to Willunga Basin Trail 

The Willunga Basin is a triangle of land bounded by the Southern Mt Lofty Ranges as they run to the Gulf St Vincent, along the coast, and to the hills of the Onkaparinga Gorge. 

The name Willunga Basin reflects the underlying geology. 

The Willunga Basin Trail is a 130 km walking trail, of 11 Sections of moderate to hard standard. It crosses the undulating farmed land of the McLaren Vale Wine Region, ascends and descends the Ranges four times and travels along the coast as it encircles the Basin. 

The route gives great variety of scenery and visits many of the small settlements as well as the coastal suburbs. It crosses the Aldinga Conservation Park, the Onkaparinga River National Park and parts of the pine and native forests of Kuitpo. 

The Trail is almost totally on public land and has been built on back roads, tracks, paths, unmade road reserves, roadside verges and beaches.

Bob McLennan Memorial Fund 

Bob was an avid supporter of, and volunteer with, the Willunga Basin Trail Group. He dedicated much time to the development of the trail over the latter years of his life. His involvement built on a career shaping and caring for South Australia's groundwater basins, from wastewater planning and treatment to environmental and water resource management for the State.

 

We invite you to contribute to the fund established in his memory. Your contribution will go towards supporting many of the ongoing projects that Bob was involved with, as well as exciting projects that are yet to commence, such as the Willunga Basin Trail connecting to Mt Bold Reservoir which we hope will be approved and commence shortly. 

 

We also invite you to walk the trail and remember Bob, who had a hand in building many of the paths and stiles you'll encounter. Look out, too, for the memorial seat that will be constructed in Bob’s name along the trail that he loved.
