WALK DETAILS
We will walk the Emu Wren Hike within Cox Scrub Conservation Park. This walk is approximately 10km (allow up to 3 hours depending on group pace).
This walk is a moderate walk along a mix of fire tracks and single trails, with some sandy sections. If we are really lucky we could spot a southern brown bandicoot which are located here.
Note the grading for our walks are a guide only and will vary for each individual based on current level of fitness and experience.
MEET TIME/LOCATION
Please arrive at 9.45am for a 10.00am start.
Meet in the carpark at Gate 1 of Cox Scrub Conservation Park, Bull Creek Road, Ashbourne. There is a Cox Scrub Conservation Park sign directing people into the carpark.
Note: There are no toilets located in Cox Scrub Conservation Park. Consider stopping at either Strathalbyn or Meadows on your way if you need to use the toilet.

I.C.E. MEDICAL DETAILS FORM
Don’t forget to print off your I.C.E. Medical Details Form which can be downloaded from our website.
If you are unable to print, your walk leader will have some spare forms on the morning of the walk for you to complete.
WEATHER AND GEAR
You can check the forecast for the walk location here -
http://www.bom.gov.au/places/sa/ashbourne/forecast/detailed/
If the weather forecast is for extreme weather or a fire ban is issued for the Adelaide Hills, this walk will be cancelled the day before and fully refunded.
We will only cancel last minute (by text message and email) if there is a severe weather warning/thunderstorm warning or weather events that are likely to impact on the safety of our leaders and walkers.
Due to the variability of the weather, the following items will be needed:
- a daypack (25-35 litre) backpack
- 2 litres of water
- sun protection (hat, sunnies, suncream) or wet weather gear (check the forecast and plan accordingly!)
- blister kit/personal medication
- high energy snacks/fruit
- boots/comfortable walking shoes
- layerable clothing for before/during/after the walk (eg. jumper/jacket)
- walking poles (optional)
Please ensure you have the minimum gear required as no refunds are possible after booking. If you arrive underprepared without wet weather clothing or the gear listed above, our Leaders have the right to ask you not to walk with us for safety reasons.
Note: All our leaders carry group first aid kits, emergency communication devices and are qualified bushwalking leaders.
OTHER INFORMATION
Our walks are all about fun, fitness and friendship - not a personal training session. If we cannot walk and talk at the same time we are walking too fast! And we never leave anyone behind.
Minimum age requirement for our walks is 15 years old (as long they are accompanied by a supervising adult). Please check with us if unsure.
For the walk to go ahead, we need a minimum of 4 walkers registered by the registration closing time (5pm the day before the walk). If a walk is cancelled due to the minimum number not being met, participants who have registered will be notified by text the evening before the walk and a refund will be given.
During our walks, photos may be taken for use publicly on our website, social media channels and e-newsletter. If you do not wish for your photo to be taken/used, please notify us via email -
