4WDing around Adelaide

Access to Reynella is a grey area although i go there on a regular basis as it is 5 mins from home. The property owners turn a discreet blind eye to vehicles entering but won't officially allow access. Best not to go alone, especially if wet.

For someone from out of town, using a UBD Adelaide street directory, what road do I use to get in there? Is it a dangerous spot if you don't know the area (ie you could end up with your vehicle plunging off the edge of a man made cliff)?

As for the private property is it there a big sign saying "Trespassers Prosecuted" or something to that effect, or is it just a case of going through an unlocked gate?

Thanks

No gates. My mate rolled a 60 series there and another dinged his roof and 1/4 panel on a tree just last week (80 series), I've slightly dinged the sills. It's easy to avoid damage but there is so much fun to be had pushing things a little too far sometimes. No unexpected drop offs though and plenty of safe fun to be had. The problem is when it rains the mud is very slippery and the ruts can be quite deep so getting stuck is not hard but a quick snatch and off you go. Ther are plenty of cars there most weekends, the regulars use Ch 10. Just watch out for dirtbikes.I'd rather not give directions but email me and I will

I called in there a while back to check it out and was told it wasn't for 4WD's, only bikes and buggies.

There is a stretch of a few k's out from Mt Compass behind Cox's Scrub NP that has a bog hole (dry when I went through a few weeks ago) and a creek crossing and a bit of rough stuff but a long way to go for a very short patch of road. Not bad when it is wet though. I did it in conjunction with the beach to the Murray Mouth from Goolwa Beach which together made an ok afternoon. You could also add in Deep Creek I guess which has great walks but the 4wd sections only last about 10 mins (stretching it). It depends on if you are after hard core or the scenery etc.

I can email gps co-ords if you want or track file.
