My brother and I are planning to cruise from
Adelaide with my 4wd through the Flinders Range. For
Cape York I bought a great book from HEMA with maps, descriptions etc
Is there something similar for this area that you can recommend? Brand doesn't matter to me as long as it does it's purpose ;-)
Thanks
Philipp

An appropriate HEMA map is your friend. Plenty of
places to
camp in the Flinders so a Camps book may not be mandatory.

Maybe look at The Map
Shop in Peel St
Adelaide, just up Hindley St from the mall.

As we are still in the process of planning, I would need something to plan the route and things we want to see. Thus I was hoping for something with information on tracks, sights etc

The most up to date info is the "
Flinders Ranges and Outback" guide from SA tourism. You can print it off or save as a PDF:

The Moon's book mentioned by Wendy is
well worth it. Very detailed.

I agree.
The Viv & Ron Moon book on the
Flinders Ranges is
well worth purchasing. We intend travelling their Sept this year & I've admittedly only just purchased it recently, however it contains so much more info than a map.

Just drop in to the RAA nearest you. They will give you most of the stuff free.
