Hi all,
I have just moved to
Adelaide from western NSW and was wondering if anyone knows some good trips/tracks in SA. This is the first time I've been in SA and don't know much about it except the
Flinders ranges which is on my "must do" list for the cooler months. I get 7 days off every 14 so distance isn't realy an issue and I have a boat if anyone knows some good fishuing holes. Also if anyone knows of a good 4x4 club in
Adelaide. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Hughesy

Hughesy, am heading past
Adelaide next week for the Eyre and
Yorke peninsulars for two weeks. Last trip for me in your direction was to
Robe and
Kingston in the December heat.
Plenty of
places for you to go, like the
Little Desert in Victoria that a lot of the crew are headed one weekend soon. The long'en I think.
The Flinders can absorb most of a lifetime if you want to learn a bit. There is a lot of fun in the Riverland too and round
Burra.
This site is a fantastic resource looking under Trip Planning above and all around. There were suggestions of the three best
places to visit in our states a couple of months back. It just needs the right search.Regards
JohnR - Not enough of the right travelling, some here..... some over there.......

No one has yet mentioned the SA/VIC Mallee area. Lies North of the
Adelaide -
Melbourne road (start around Keith), up to the
Adelaide -
Sydney road (around
Pinnaroo), OR around
Pinnaroo and then North to the
Adelaide -
Mildura road (somewhere East of
Renmark). Includes Ngarkat,
Big Desert, Murray Sunset National Parks, Border Tracks. Lots of
bush camping, 4WD tracks. In easy reach for weekend.
Have a look at green cover Mallee Tracks book available RAA City, Snowys Camping
Richmond Road, Opposite Lock South Road, many other
places (not available this website YET so far as I know). Plenty of history , flora , fauna , local stories, at least 15 mud maps with detailed directions and points of interest to look out for , etc. in that book. Great value at around $30. Written by 2 schoolteacher ladies who married local farmers so have all the local guff.
