Strzelecki Track

I know this isnt answering your question but we were told about a free camp on a lake just south of Leigh ck looked beautiful.
Planned a stay there into our trip and found the gates perminantly closed. Might have been the mine that funded it so their staff had somewhere on their breaks. The mine had just closed when we went through.
Be interesting so see if it has opened again.
It was still ok wikicamps back then as operating.

We like the Balcanoona - Mount Hopeless route when going north from Adelaide or visa versa, but we would generally stay on the gravel until further south than leigh Creek, but it is a very nice drive between Balcanoona and Leigh Creek, certainly nicer than the southern bit of the Strz. Good road.
Don't be between Balcanoona and Mt Hopeless if it rains.

Another alternative if you have time is the bit between Mount Freeling and Moolawatana. This is the very last undeveloped public road in the Flinders. Quite slow and not suitable for vans.
Cheers,
Peter
