Used to be owned by Willow Springs Station
now
It is actually part of a private park.....called Bunkers Conservation Reserve set up by Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby Preservation Society, from members of SSAA Hunting and Conservation Branch SA

It is still predominately owned by Willow Springs Station. You have to pass through some locked gates to access the Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby Preservation Society.
Carmel and Brendon Reynolds own and operate Willow Springs Station on which the SkyTrek is situated. The family still run sheep and some cattle on the station, when there is enough feed to allow them.
As a retired farmer, I had discussions with them about their stock carrying and feed situation. I think Brendon was envious with what I have been doing.

The Reynolds family own and operate Willow Springs Station.
A quote from their website: "As part of the Yellow-Footed Rock-Wallaby Preservation Association acquisition of the Bunkers Block from March 2001 Willow Springs Station now leases the Bunkers proportion of Skytrek."
The locked gates allow partial access to this reserve and the total 60 kms of the whole circuitous trek from the Willow Springs Station Homestead.

Member No 1, sorry you are wrong.
Willow Springs is owned and run by the Reynolds family and has been for years.
Live close to them and have worked in that area for a few years. Cheers

I think there is some confusion here. There is no dispute that the Reynolds family own Willow Springs Station and much of the Skytrek track itself, but most of the Bunkers Range, Loves Mine Range and Mt Caernarvon area is part of The Bunkers Conservation Reserve which is managed by the Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby Preservation Association. That part of the track is leased back to Willow Springs Station.

thanks for clearing that up Chaz

No worries No 1.
I should add that Willow Springs owns Skytrek in name, but not all of the land that it entails. Even the Skull Rock section is part of the Bunkers Reserve.
