Real Walks. Honest Reviews.

Walk About Adelaide is a personal walking blog covering trails across South Australia — with a focus on the Heysen Trail and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Every route has been walked firsthand.

No sponsored content. No paid placements. Just genuine notes from the trail, practical information for other walkers, free GPX files and coloured path-type maps you won't find anywhere else.

  • Every stat calculated from the actual GPS track
  • Path-type colour coding (single track / paved / dirt / beach)
  • Highlighted waypoints — lookouts, wildlife spots, cautions
  • Honest difficulty ratings from real experience
  • Free GPX downloads for every reviewed walk
  • SEO-friendly posts so other walkers can find them
