Heysen Trail Adventure Day 14: Worlds End to Burra

1 August 2020

With summer approaching, and with it the scheduled trail closure, I decided to ignore the lessons of history and open a second front in the more northern section of the trail. Worlds End was surprisingly close to civilization, however the pancake flat terrain did lend credence to the flat earth theory. 🤣. This was a pretty boring section of trail through semi arid grazing land. However the town of Burra is well worth a visit – a fascinating snapshot of history of copper mining in the area. The self guided history tour is terrific. Its a great base for completing surrounding sections of the trail. We stayed in an old miners cottage with the trail passing our front door.
