Let someone know before you go
It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.

0 Reviews on “Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail - Day 1: Rocky River Section (12.4km)”
I absolutely loved this hike, amazing scenery and fantastic/clean campsite
Not the best time to be spruiking Kangaroo Island.
No one will be walking this trail for a long time to come. The Flinders Chase is well and truly going up in flames
