Flinders Over Easter

Hi all

Just finshed unpacking from an easter trip to the flinders.

Camped down in the Brachina East grounds great spot on the creek clean long drops good camp fire rings and wow did the Red wine taste good under the stars.

Sky trek on friday was good with some nice climbs and great seenery chages along the way the history was interesting too. The track it self was not that challenging how ever it was very enjoyable. Skull rock added to the time there and was good but not overly impressive.

Saturday was Arkapena which was far more challenging as a track and offered some spectacular views. It was rated 3 hours took us 4.5 by the time we stopped in a creek bed in the shade for lunch and took in all the veiws. This was rated the top track of the three we did in the Flinders and is one I highly recommend.

Sunday was the oratunga track out of of blinmen. A track with some good climbs and great views. The only thing I didnot enjoy was the rocks every where, yea I know it's the flinders but rocks like this on a track was increedaabule both cars had chips out of the tyres (ok mine are still road bias but I'm 1 more chicp closer to a new set) and the AT's were lso sliced. even the low lying tracks were covered in rocks it was 4 hours of rocks turning up and dinting the alloys and hitting the under body (gee dulls a 4 in lift would fix that what da recon I ring ARB when I get home) The property offered a range of seenery that was very enjoyable. So would I do it agian? with a set of BFG's AT's or Muddies and a 4in lift you bet ya.

When I get down on my knees and pray to night I will be asking the big fella up stairs why he was in such a hurry to get his son out of the tomb and extra couple of days would have made easter so much more fun.

See ya under the stars
