Hi
I am planning a trip to SA outback this year. I am travelling with my partner and 1 dog. Does anyone have any ideas about where it would be great to go, times of the year,
places, things to see etc. If anyone has trip notes from where you have gone it would be great to read. It would be execellent also if you know about whether through the outback there are any problems with a dog coming along. I also know very little about such a trip, so any advice re type of vehicle etc would be fab.
Thankyou

What type of vehicle do you have?
Depens what time of year you go but
Flinders ranges and Arkaroola are spectacular, especially in spring when the wild flowers come out.
The west coast from Pt Lincoln onwards has some great beaches, cliffs and scenery if you are into that type of thing.
Lake Eyre is just beginning to receive water so that area will be great during winter and spring.
Just avoid summer in the north unless you know what you are doing and love 40 plus.
Property owners generally hate dogs because so many people do not control them so you will probably have more trouble getting access than if you did not have a dog.
Most national parks ban dogs.
Remember to take plenty of water for the dog as
well as yourselves.
Some caravan parks and camping grounds don't mind dogs, get yourself a good publication and identify them before you go.
Birdsville track is good to travel just so you can say you have done it - watch out for flood and mud at the moment, it is dangerous when wet.
Around Mt Gambier and the national parks below it (can't remember the name of the one on the river) are great as is
Robe (crayfish) and the cooryong, terrific four wheel driving and fishing. Travel with someone if you can in the cooryong. Watch out for incoming tides and snakes.
You don't define outbak or level of experience so I am heitant to start talking about
William Creek etc
Have a good trip
