Cars

A 4WD/AWD is recommended though not mandatory. The road through the paddocks can be very soft sand and there is the occasional hole. Groups of four or more people are requested to car pool whenever possible in order to limit the amount of traffic entering the paddocks. Leaving a car on Waitpinga Rd or in Victor Harbour works well in these cases.

Total Fire Ban days

Entry into the farm will be restricted on high temperature days (35 degrees and above). This applies to low wheel based petrol driven cars due to the potential fire risk.

Gates

Please ensure that the gates are closed tightly i.e. do not loosely attach the chains/wires so a large gap remains. CLOSE EVERY GATE THAT YOU HAVE TO OPEN.

The access to the cliff is via one of two methods.

1. via private land or
2. via the Heysen Trail coming in from the Victor Harbour side or Newland Head Reserve. The CCSA (Climbing Club of South Australia) has arranged access via the landowners immediately above the cliff top. Any entry onto this land must first have the permission of either Alistair Carmichael or Bernie Carmichael. This aspect of climbing at Waits is the most important as there is NO OTHER ACCESS to Waits except along the Heysen Trail, which would add about 90 –120 min to the walk in time!
