The Dutchmans Stern Hike (5 hrs return, 10.5km loop)

Explore the scrubland, gorges and open woodland that this park is known for.

The bluff known as the Dutchmans Stern, located 10km north east of Quorn, is a prominent landmark. Home to a host of plants and animals, the Dutchmans Stern Conservation Park has plenty of walking trails to explore the rugged landscape.

Make your way to the summit via the Dutchmans Stern hiking trail. The summit offers spectacular views of Spencer Gulf, surrounding ranges and the Willochra Plain. The Heysen Trail also winds its way through the park.

Extend your visit overnight at the old homestead or shearers’ quarters located within the park.

More information is available on the National Parks South Australia website.
