Heysen Trail Adventure Day 13: Marble Hill to Cudlee Creek

19 July 2020

A truly wintery day – cold, wet and windy. Unsurprisingly I did not encounter a single soul on this section of the Adelaide hills, although I did encounter some rather large goats with impressive sets of horns shrouded in mist standing in the middle of the trail. I’m sure I heard “none shall pass” before they reluctantly elected to move aside. This section of the hills and the Montacute Conservation Park had been ravaged in the awful summer bushfires and so it was difficult to find the route at times as the signposts had been destroyed. However after some slipping and sliding and cross country navigating, I eventually made my way to Cudlee Creek where the post belly stove and excellent coffee in the café was most welcome.
