Hi Scott.. Yes it is a huge area with many
places to enter from... Generally most of the tracks are easy and flat,,, just sandy........
If you want something with an average challenge where you have to deflate tires you might find the
Border Track of interest...
Approx 5kms before
Pinnaroo (
Adelaide side ) there is a right turn into a dirt road which is
sign-posted (brown
sign),,, i cant quite remember the roads name but it is something like "Rosy Pine rd".... If you follow that road for approx 5kms you will come to an
intersection of tracks and a
campsite...
"The Centre Track is easy easy,,,, and the The
Border Track is quite an effort over the sand dunes towards the middle and end...

Border track goes for about 85kms then you find yourself at a "L" section dirts roads
intersection..... Turn right and it will take you into Keith...
Oh and by the way.... when you leave the original first
campsite along the
Border track you will get to the border fence after about 5 or 6kms,,, turn hard right so the fence is on your left.....

You can easily leave 7am on a Sat and get to
Red Bluff or sorts by about 3 if you are not rushing and then get into keith about 11ish the next day..
