quickest way to Arkaroola

.. to arkaroola .... sorry :-))

Ops .... from Adelaide ...

Luca,
If it were me and in a hurry to get there, straight up the black top, I think it is Stirling North, then up to Copley, across the Gorge along the bottom of the Gammons then up to Arkaroola.

Far bit of bitumen, so you can maintain your speed.

Off the top of my head, so if you have a map you will be able to work out what I am saying.

enjoy

plane would be quickest......

Leroy....could resist!

Via Clare, Burra or Crystal Brook the differences are minimal. I'd go one way come home another. The Burra or Clare options could be less busy.

If it was me i'd go straight up the guts,that being Adel,Jamestown,Orroroo,Hawker,Copely then straight across to Arkaroola,have fun,cheer's GREENDOG

Please remember that.....
When driving quickly to a place beyond your comfort zone.....
To be alert and to take good care.......
So that you don't come out on the other side......

Clare, Spalding, Jamestown, Orroroo, Carrieton, Cradock, Hawker, Wilpena (all bitumen to here), then dirt to Oraparina, Wirrealpa, Wertaloona, Balcanoona, Akaroola.....is definetly fastest way if dry

if very wet east side of ranges get to hawker then take west side of ranges on up to leigh creek- copley and then dirt across to balcanoona is probably better drive (but not neccessarily quickest)

I was in Dublin and I asked a local, "what's the quickest way to County Cork?"
He said "are you driving or walking?" I said "driving" he said "then driving is the quickest". Rus.

When I was at Arkaroola last year I asked one of the "locals" which way they went back to Adelaide. Apparently the Yunta route is longer but about an hour quicker. The dirt road between Arkaroola and Yunta was in great condition Oct last year - we were easily able to sit on 110 towing a trailer.

Gday Dedalus,
Have been both ways as already mentioned, I reckon thru Wilpena was possibly a bit quicker.
I read earlier that you are planning only 3 days total for this trip, absolutely no question that your'e a professional tour guide.

via Yunta is usually quicker - fewer towns/ stops/ curves etc. A bit depends on how fast you travel on the gravel north of Yunta - its a well graded gravel road.

Thanks all for the handy suggestions!!

G'day Luca, I am also a tour guide, and reckon about 4 hours from Adelaide to Yunta, then about another 4 to Arkaroola. Generally the road to Arkaroola is pretty good and for the most part is straight so pretty easy driving. No fuel after Yunta though. Thats the way I would go. Done it many times.
