Peterborough, please

Hi
John,
From
Copley travel east to Arkaroola via Angepena - Nepabunna Mission -
Balcanoona Station then north to Arkaroola.
From Arkaroola to Wilpena you can go south via
Balcanoona Station - just west of Wertaloona Station. Keep driving south till you see the
Blinman turnoff to the right and travel west via Wearing
Gorge and on to
Blinman.
The above roads are dirt but drive to the conditions and you will have no worries.
Look around for the wild flowers and
the Desert Sturt Pea.
If you have the time stay and look around
Blinman before heading south to Wilpena.
The road the south from Wilpena is all black stuff
Enjoy your trip P&J

John,
I forgot to mention once you leave Wearing
Gorge you will go past Chambers
Gorge on your left and then to
Wirrealpa Station before going on to
Blinman
