Good Morning All

During our recent 10 day stay in the Flinders Ranges, we were able to do 4 user four wheel drive tracks.

All drives were open only after things dried out and 2 drives we had to wait 6 days for that to happen.

One drive that we were keen to do again was the new Skytrek after the original drive had to be altered after local issues. We had driven the original drive 3 times since the early 1990's and were very keen to see just how the new one would rate.

The new drive is now over 80 kilometres in length, with only the last 12 kilometres real four wheel drive country. My personal thoughts are that you are now paying a premium price of $65 for a drive that is now very over rated, compared to other far superior drives in the area that range in price from $40 to $50 dollars.

Based on what we encountered, if you are after a true four wheel drive that offers far better scenery, far more extreme four wheel driving, then make the Arkapena Four Wheel Drive No 1 on your "Must Do" bucket list followed by a very close second with the Bunbinyunna Drive a very close second and you will not be disappointed.

Overall I personally rate the new Skytek only 5 out of 10, compared to 20 out of 10 for the Arkapena Drive and 19 out of 10 for the Bunbinyunna Drive.

Move over Skytrek, you have had your way far too long and you now need to drop your premium price for a C - drive compared to other superior drives in the area that I rate as AAA drives.

Just my thoughts and interested to hear your thoughts from others that have also driven other better drives in the Flinders.



Cheers
