Hi All
The wife and I are heading off next Sat 25th to the Finders Rangers on route to
Darwin via the centre
We are hoping for input from anyone who has just been to the Finders we are planning stay of about 5/6 days and was hoping for advise on where to stay both park and
free camping
We had in mind Rawsley Station for a couple of days as a base also Angorchina village any ideas for
free camping we are fully self contained we have a BT50 3.2 4x4 diesel twin cab with a 21 ft semi off road
Also can any one recommend any "good PAR tracks to do I have read about a couple but was hoping for readers experience
Cheers
Greg&Leonie hope to see you on the road

Love
bush camping at
Rawnsley Park. Huge area, great
views,
toilets and the odd tap with running water. We have towed our non off road van in there with no issues.
The Arkapena 4WD track leaves from across the road and is on their property.
Not a 4WD challenge but great
views of the Chance and Elder ranges.
There is a
lookout about 5 km up the Martins
Well Road that is a great spot for an evening BBQ dinner to watch the sunset with only a short run back to Rawnsley.
Further north the Nuccaleena
Mine,
Artimore and Patawarta Gap PAR is a good drive that will take most of a day.
Bunyeroo, Glass and Brachina gorges are interesting drives and
Wilpena Pound is a good walk.
Kanyaka ruins on the way into the area are
well worth a stop.
Most of the photos here:

are from the central Flinders.
There is much to do and see, you will not run out of activities in 6 days.
And on your way further north don't miss
The Breakaways just north of
Coober Pedy if you are taking the Stuart Highway. We drove past the sign for years before taking the time to stop.
Enjoy
Pete

Love
Parachilna Gorge free camping, sometimes you are lucky and have it all to yourself :)
The last camps closest to Parachilna side are nicest I feel.
Be a good last nights stop after perhaps visiting
Blinman, driving the PAR (public access routes) up around PAtawarta and
Glass Gorge loop.
