We're going to be doing an overnight walk along the Nukan Kungun trail in the Coorong! This will involve walking 25 kilometres over 2 days, with most of the walking being relatively flat. No overnight hiking experience is necessary, however you will need to have experience walking long distances of ~15km (4-5 hours). If you have any questions, please contact me (Joe Milne) on messenger or text me on 0497040598.

BE PREPARED FOR

Walking - We will be walking up to 15km (4-5 hours) each day and so you will need to have experience walking similar distances as day walks.

Carrying - This is an overnight hike which means you will need to carry all of your camping gear and food with you. This will include 3L of water as we will only have a singular water fill-up early on the second day.

Bush business - There are no toilets along the trail. Your trip leader will be carrying a trowel to use if nature calls.

PRICE

This trip will cost $13 to cover camping fees, with an extra $5 for gear hire. Petrol costs will be split amongst members of each car after the trip, expected to be $20-30 per person.
