@nrsamdb @nrsamdb we notice the Kaliwirra Trail in Moorook Game Reserve hasn't reopened since 2018, as in some trail closure signs are still up at the trailhead. Any news when the trail might re-open? Looks like a great place for a short walk to appreciate the floodplains

[Walking SA @Walking_SA]

@nrsamdb No probs, thanks. We look forward to it re-opening, it looks like a great trail!

Have you noticed that left turn slip lanes are gradually disappearing from the City? Too often motorists have either not noticed a person walking across, or thought they had the right of way. 4 people have been killed on slips lanes over the past 5 years. https://t.co/26o218W5YR

In the 1970’s 8 out of 10 students rode or walked to school. Today that's dropped to 2 in 10. Walking more regularly helps get the whole family active so why not walk to school with your kids during #Walktober?! Find tips on the #Way2Go website https://t.co/PviAXOgJwv

As pedestrian deaths in South Australia hits an all time high, we need to acknowledge that while safety features in cars are getting better to protect occupants - it's at the cost of vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists https://t.co/s1N1UDwFt7

To walk, or to run? If you're looking to improve your health, should your work hard, or get more walking into your day? It doesn't matter, as long as your activity is aerobic - in that it raises your heart rate & gets you moving. https://t.co/Y7CZh5ZW3X #walktoberSA

Future of the Hallett Cove Boardwalk (Marion Coastal Walking Trail) hangs in the balance. Sections have now been closed for 11 mths with no funding to restore. @AmandaRishworth is calling for @cityofmarion & State Government to find a way to fix. Petition https://t.co/hhuOckFC3r

Now that daylight savings has started, short after-work bushwalks are a good evening activity. We've compiled a list of 25 short hikes which are close to Adelaide.

Feeling stressed out? Go for a walk. The positive effects of a single exposure to nature make us feel happier for up to 7 hours. That means walking to work in the morning, or taking the dog for a stroll, can make you feeling happier all day. https://t.co/VJK7rKreQ8 #walktoberSA
