This walk starts at Rocky Creek Hut which is just off Razor Back Road on the Heysen Trail. Follow the trail markers across Razor Back Road and along the boundary of the pine forest. After about 4 kms you will meet a gravel road on the other side of the forestry fence. This is Pocock Road. When the opportunity arises cross the fence and follow Pocock Road as it heads north. About a kilometre further on you will see a parking area and gate on your left leading back into the pine forest. The track is bounded by farmland on the northern side. Follow this track until it picks up the Heysen Trail again where it will veer right for a short distance before leaving the forestry reserve.
From this point on, follow the Heysen Trail into Mylor, passing through Jupiter Creek where old 19th century gold mine sites are dotted throughout the area. After passing through more farmland, the trail follows Glen Bold Road along a series of gravel and rough tracks.
Eventually the trail markers along the Mylor-Echunga Road will lead us into the township of Mylor. Our destination is the local cafe. I can smell the coffee from here!
