Depends which way you are heading to the Flinders, how quick you want to get to QLD
and how far you want to travel between stations.
We always head via
Orroroo (fuel and supplies stop) and stop at
http://www.bendlebyranges.com.au/ 45min from
Orroroo.
Great camp with clean long drops, good 4wd tracks and plenty of wood supplied for
camp fire.
This way is a nicer drive than going through
Port Augusta.
Then you can head into
Hawker (fuel and limited supply stop) 1.5hrs from
Bendleby via the back dirt roads which are good in condition. Don't forget to try
Quandong Chocolates (its Cadbury milk chocolate too :)
Merna Mora http://www.mernamora.com.au/ is 30mins north of
Hawker,
camp across the creek from the main accommodation and power sites. There has been a small transportable erected with mains shower and
toilet.
2.5hrs further up the hwy is from
Merna Mora is
http://www.warraweena.com/ . 45mins off the hwy from
Beltana Roadhouse (
beltana roadhouse is shut for good) You will go through the historic
Beltana town, really worth a look and the old mining town
ruins just out of
Warraweena. The road into
Warraweena can be impassable if they have had lots of rain, other than that its good.
Warraweena has a few secluded unpowered sites next to the dry river bed with huge gums (Prospectors site recommended no long drops). Showers and
toilets available next the
homestead 1min away from site. (you need to book and getting hold of Stoney can be difficult as he works in the mines, but dont let that hinder.
Stop at
Prairie Hotel for a counter lunch, its a 5 star hotel accommodation on the way to
Leigh Creek.
Leigh Creek, back out to the hwy from
Warraweena and 45mins north (fuel and supply stop).
Thats as far as I've been
Cheers
