Day 1 Adelaide – Headings Cliffs (walk approx. 12 km) You travel about 14 km along the Murray River to the start of the walking trail and discover the lagoons, which are havens for waterbirds. You learn more about the site of a Second World War Japanese internment camp and cross creeks that feed the red gum and box forests. A gentle climb through the cliffs offers a breathtaking view over the vast Murray River plain.

Day 2 Headings Cliffs – Chowilla Creek (walk approx. 14 km) Today, you walk down a gentle slope to the valley to experience a spectacular sunrise. Back on your houseboat, you enjoy breakfast. Later, you discover Aboriginal canoe trees, vast red gum forests and small islands along the green Amazon Creek.

Day 3 Chowilla Creek – Bunyip Reach Cliffs (walk approx. 10 km) This morning, a light mist hangs over the river. After breakfast, you head to the Chowilla Creek environmental regulator to learn more about environmental watering. Then you walk along Chowilla Creek, through wetlands, and visit the site of the Chowilla Dam, planned in the 1960s but never built.

Day 4 Bunyip Reach Cliffs – Renmark (optional walk 2 km) This morning, you stroll two kilometres along the river before passing the downstream lock to reach the innovative Wilkadene Woolshed Brewery, housed in a 100-year-old woolshed. From there, transfer back to Renmark.
