Flinders Ranges and would appreciate any comments on the
Birdsville track for caravan. we have 21? Ft New Age jewel semi off road.

Arnie,
Been a number of Flinders related threads over the past 2-3 weeks. There was one about a week ago, that had a reply by Stephen L, with some excellent photos of the area. Think if you do a "search" on
Flinders Ranges you'll get more than enough info to read until mid-July, or even longer :-)
From the few times we've been along the
Birdsville Track, you wouldn't have any trouble, as long as you take your time. Say do Maree -
Birdsville in about 2 days, rather than try for one day. Surface is usually good, and only place that could cause some grief, are the floodways that have been "sheeted" with coarser, and often sharper gravel. You'll need to take your time too, as there's plenty of Kodak moments. Special part of Oz, especially in the cooler months.

Stay at several Arnie
Went spent a couple of weeks in the northern section on our way
home from Tasmania;
Wilpena Pound, Brachina and Parachilna Gorges,
Blinman, Chambers
Gorge, Araroola. It was a rushed trip and we went straight though and missed so much. The next time we got as far as
Quorn and
Warren Gorge, again a short diversion from the main drag on our way
home on a deadline. All beautiful country.
