LFT Section 6: Springton to Keyneton, KEYNES GAP & MARNE ROCKS

Starting at the Herbig Family Tree House (a tree where a family of German immigrants lived in the 1850s) we head north through KEYNES GAP & MARNE ROCKS, two very attractive rocky areas. The trail then follows a shallow valley northwards to cross country section on a ridge with extensive views to the east & west.

The Lavender Trail is a 250km trail that extends from Murray Bridge to Manoora. They are currently constructing a further 60km of trail & by the end of 2017 the trail should reach Clare.
