Itinerary description
The Bald Head Walk provides spectacular views of the coastal scenery of the Flinders Peninsula in the Torndirrup National Park.
This walk showcase a collection of native plants and a wide display of wildflowers during spring. It's not uncommon to spot some whales on the open sea during their annual migration (from June to October) and snakes and spiders on land.
The trail starts about 100m to the left of the car park and is a 13km return over a single track (this tracklog is one way only) over Isthmus Hill and Limestone Head, finishing at Bald Head, the most eastern point of the park.

Turn Right
The track makes a sharp turn to the right (looks like it'll go through the bush) Don't follow straight! It's the wrong way.
