Hi Tom
If you have never been before, you are in for a real treat.
It is one area that regardless how many times you have been there, it is always so awe inspiring and you ask yourself why has it been so long since your return visit.
The only time that you need a true four wheel drive, is on the true four wheel drive tracks that are available throughout the Flinders, eg Arakapenna, etc
We have been regular visitors to the area nearly 50 years, and all roads were dirt and our vehicles were falcon utes Toyota Corolla and Celtics which had next to no ground clearance at all.
Your Subaru will be fine anywhere through the major drives, just slow down and take your time. We have camped in many great locations throughout the Flinders, with good camping at Wilpena,
Rawnsley Park and
Merna Mora.
A bit of a trip.......if you enjoy bushwalking, the
St Mary Peak hike is great, but you should do it while you can, and the same as visiting
Sacred Canyon. The locals up there are going to jump on the band wagon, just like the climb at Ayers
Rock, saying that
St Mary Peak is a sacred site and want the climb banned, and want to put in place a paid Aboriginal tour to visit
Sacred Canyon....so get in while you can.
For me, the best preserved
mine ruins to see are at Nuccalina, even though it is
sign posted Four Wheel Drive only, we once met a Holden Berina out there...so you can see if that was there, you will be fine.
I can rave on and on, but you will have a ball in the Flinders.
Cheers
Stephen
