Wirrabara derives its name from an aboriginal word for ‘a place of big trees’. Today, the Wirrabara Forest Reserve covers an area of 7,000 hectares of the Southern Flinders Ranges, three hours drive north of Adelaide and approximately 8km west of the township of Wirrabara. The Wirrabara Forest Reserve is modelled as a community forest. It is managed for sustainable commercial forestry, while providing for the conservation of native flora and fauna and community use for recreation. Native Forest Reserves Wirrabara Forest Reserve contains 4,150 hectares of native vegetation protected for conservation. This includes three gazetted Native Forest Reserves (Wirrabara Range, Spaniards Gully and King Tree), covering approximately 3,250 hectares. These Native Forest Reserves and conservation zones are of high conservation value, containing a rich variety of trees, shrubs and ground cover species that provide significant habitat for native birds, reptiles and mammals. Native forest areas are an important resource for scientific research and provide opportunities for activities such as nature study, bird watching and bush walking. Pets in the Forest Dogs are welcome in plantation forest areas, provided they are kept under direct control at all times and kept on a leash when in picnic areas or near other forest users or wildlife such as kangaroos. To protect native wildlife, dogs and other pets are not permitted in Native Forest Reserves. Please be aware fox baiting programs are undertaken periodically in Native Forest Reserves as part of regional native wildlife protection programs. Total Fire Ban and Forest Closures For your safety, forest reserves are closed to the public on declared Total Fire Ban days and in areas where forest operations such as harvesting are being undertaken. Visitors must keep clear of logging operations and pay attention to all signs. This Forest is located in the Flinders Fire Ban District. For CFS fire ban information phone 1300 362 361 or visit the CFS website. Being aware of a Total Fire Ban is your responsibility. Campfires and Barbecues Wood fires are permitted within the forest from 1 May to 31 October each year. Gas fires are permitted from 1 April to 30 November. Fireplaces should be cleared of all flammable material for a distance of 4 metres. Someone must be present at all times and ensure that the fire is fully extinguished before leaving. Visitors may collect wood for campfires from the plantation forest floor only, near their campsites and picnic areas. It is an offence to cut down or damage standing trees or plants. Campfires are restricted to designated fire places located in campgrounds, picnic areas and at huts. Please conserve wood supplies by keeping fires small.

Walking along the Ippinitchie Trail
Multiple Use TrailsWalking, cycling and horse riding are all popular activities in Wirrabara Forest Reserve. The Heysen and Mawson trails both pass through parts of the forest.
Within Wirrabara Forest Reserve, there is one short walk and four multi-use recreation trails. These walks and trails are clearly sign posted with colour coded markers.
For more information regarding the extensive trail network within Wirrabara Forest Reserve, please refer to the map or contact the Wirrabara Forest Office.
Forest Trail CodeThe forest trail and road network is used by walkers, horse riders and cyclists. To ensure everyone’s enjoyment and safety please consider:
• For your safety, avoid areas where access is restricted, including where forestry operations are in progress. Look for signs.
• Always wear a helmet when cycling and horse riding and travel at a safe speed according to your experience, track conditions and terrain.
• Consider other users. Cyclists give way to walkers and both must give way to horse riders. Courtesy is the key.
• Avoid steep muddy or loose trails and surfaces, where the tracks you leave behind can channel rainwater and cause erosion.
