Harveys Return Hike, Cape Borda, KI, South Australia.
Description
This short hike follows the original route used by the Cape Borda Lightkeepers who hauled their stores up from Harveys Return using a horse and capstan (horse-drawn winch), and small rail cars. For geology enthusiasts, there are spectacular outcrops of tightly folded, thinly bedded schists. Below the capstan, the trail is very steep, so walkers should descend carefully.
The trail begins at the Harveys Return Campground on the Playford Highway.
No camping or overnight parking allowed.
Off the coast is now a large Sanctuary Zone so no fishing allowed.
