Hike Overview

The Beyeria Walk is a short and informative loop trail located within Beyeria Conservation Park on Kangaroo Island. This delightful stroll winds through native Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee woodland with a broombush understory. The park itself is named after the endemic Kangaroo Island Turpentine Bush (Beyeria subtecta). The walk features interpretive signage along the way, highlighting the diverse plant and animal life of the mallee scrub ecosystem under the theme "The Many Faces of Mallee Scrub." The trail is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with a total distance of approximately 1.5 kilometers and an estimated completion time of 30 minutes. Brochures with additional information about the eleven interpretive signs are available at the trailhead, courtesy of the Friends of Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park. To access the Beyeria Walk, simply follow Wilsons Road for a 15-minute drive south from Kingscote and look for the car park.

Track Grade

Grade 2 (Easy) - A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
