Devil's Peak trail

Devil’s Peak is just under 700m high, and formed of pound quartzite approximately 700 million years old. Have a good look around you, as there are many examples of faults and fossil impressions on this walk.
The Flinders Ranges is a young landscape made from ancient rocks that refelct changes in Australia's envirnment over the millennia. As you walk along the Devil's Peak trail you climb through an ancient and vital piece of Earth history. the rocks around you represent the various time periods, such as the Cambrian, Ediacaran and Pre-Cambrian.
You will see a large variety of native vegetation, wildflowers, birds and get a fantastic panoramic view at the summit (670 metres above sea level) and along the way.

• The walk is 1.3 km long and will take approximately 2 hours to complete. It is not a loop walk and it has some steep and rocky parts that require walkers to scramble over.
  This is a private property so please respect the land by not littering or damaging the vegetation. Dogs, firearms, fires and camping are not permitted.

Mount Brown Conservation Park trail

If you have extra time available, rather than return straight to Quorn, travel back along the Devil's Peak turnoff road and turn right along the Richman Valley Road. This will take you a further 10 km through farming country to Waukarie Falls (usually dry) and the start of the Mt Brown Conservation Park Bush Walks at Olive Grove Trailhead. From here (14 km south of Quorn along the Richman Valley Road) there are two walks (no steep sections) to choose from:

• A 15 km loop walk including the spur track to Mt Brown summit normally takes 7- 8 hours.
• Allow 6 hours for the other walk, which is 11.6 km (5.8 km one way), for the return journey to the summit of Mt Brown
• After heavy rain the Waukerie Falls will run. It is only a 5 min. walk from the carpark. It is also a great picnic spot.

The altitude range of these walks is from 410 metres at the trailhead to 970 metres at the summit.
