Yunta to Arkaroola

These roads are subject to flooding sometimes from rain further up stream. It isn't wise to camp in Creek beds, no matter how sandy they look.
They are good roads other wise.
The wadlata Centre in Port Augusta is a good place for information. If you like outback scenery The Gammon Ranges are lovely but this area is remote & you must be well prepared for arid land camping.
Yes, it can also become undrivable if heavy rain falls directly in the area.

Take care,safe travels. Ma.

Thanks for that info. I never knew we had another uranium mine out there. Your post has got me reading all about the Four Mile mine. Thumbs up to you!

Yes, the Sprig family who run the place are trying to keep the mines out.
We signed a petition many years ago when we went there.
There is the yellow footed wallaby there.
It is supposed to be a sanctuary.
Arkaroola lodge is quite expensive.
Bore water will cement your hair straight up.
I would suggest that make it that you don't wash your hair there.
Drinking water is expensive because they have to buy it in.
When we were there Ice for your esky was very expensive.Sold out fast.
If you love outback arid country. You will love Arkaroola. The scenery on the Echo back track is beautiful but make sure you go the correct way , it's steep in places & you don't want to be doing a 5 point turn at the edge of one of those drops if you meet some one coming the wrong way on the corner

Called in to the camping ground at Arkaroola years ago and went straight to the shower. Only saw the notice about hard water when I went to the sink to brush my teeth. Read it as I tried without luck to comb my hair. Woops. Simple solution is to take some hard water shampoo or vinegar along. Ernie Dingo visited Arkaroola for his TV show not long ago and fed the YFR Wallabies. Very cute critters.

I heard that a sube could get up the top to the gulf doing the OTT
If it was driven to conditions.The old fella reckoned his sube could talk though.
He was very good with his vehicles.
