Accessible ranger-guided walk - Footprints of the Past Trail

Join Ranger Jae and Yvie (NPWS Access for All Coordinator) for an accessible guided walk in Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta along the 'Footprints of the Past' Trail.

This trail unlocks the his­to­ry of the for­mer Glen­thorne Farm through the sto­ries of six char­ac­ters from Glenthorne’s past, begin­ning with Kau­r­na Miyur­na (peo­ple). The trail takes you through the main vis­i­tor hub, past a 1960s glasshouse lab­o­ra­to­ry and 1850s vigneron’s barn, then towards a look­out with panora­ma views over the park and dis­tant hills.

The rangers will also give a demonstration on the new 'SA National Parks Tours' app that helps you get the most out of selected trails within South Australian national parks that provides you with audio nar­ra­tives and the ability to bring the fea­tured char­ac­ters to life through aug­ment­ed real­i­ty!

Please download the app onto your smartphone prior to tour:

• App Store (Apple devices)
• Google Play (Android devices)
  

Accessibility

The trail surface is hard packed gravel, there is a reasonable gradient just past the glasshouse to go down so assistance may be required. This is a grade 2 trail so there are sections in which assistance may be required. For manual wheelchair users it is recommended to do the trail with a freewheel attached (if you have one) as this will make the trail easier to navigate.
