vehicle capability required to tackle Flinders tracks

Not sure about Skytrek and Waraweena but as far as WIlpena Pound goes.. My Grandmothers 1975 Corolla could do all there is to do around Wilpena... Fingers crossed someone comes up with somewhere adventurous to suggest for you.

I thought Hire Vehicles could go anywhere :-))))
Yep, the Hilux could handle both Skytrek and Warraweena.

Have a look at http://www.flindersoutback.com/
Argadells has been a favourite of mine.

Yeh, should be no problem with the hilux.....the only issue would be the major chipping of the tyres if not managed sufficiently. They may be quite noticeable, dpending on brands etc.

Does the hire vehicle have that clause "not off the bitumen"?

IRS on a hilux?????
Keep reading the specs..

Pathy,

No problem with any 4WD vehicle doing Skytrek, providing it has low range.
You will receive trip notes which will inform you when to engage low range.

Can't comment specifically on Waraweena, but I'd assume similar to the above.

As far as anywhere else in the Flinders, providing you have reasonable ground clearance when crossing creek beds, (ie if you are driving through places like Brachina Gorge) you will have no worries.

Brachina is worth a drive into. Camping in this area is better (more secluded) than the Pound Campground, but if you prefer a Caravan Park stay, as opposed to Bush camping, the Pound is great. Good walk of approx. 2 hours return into the Pound itself.

A drive to Blinman is also good if you want to see "The Great Wall of China" and experience the atmosphere of the Pub, etc.

Enjoy!
