Best way to flinders

South.

Or more seriously; down the Hume to Melbourne, buy a Citylink Day Pass and follow the Monash Freeway (tollway?) all the way to the end where it stops being a freeway and becomes the Dandenong - Hastings Road, continue through to Hastings and follow the coast road to Flinders.

Can't really help with places to stay but Point Leo (10 or 15km north of Flinders) has a caravan park situated, more or less, on the beach. It's a lovely part of the world - enjoy.

Make sure you take the road up to Arthurs Seat and then down towards the Mornington Peninsula freeway at some point (clear day) the views are magnificient.

The RACV does a book listing caravan parks and camp grounds in Vic.

Old Mike2,

If I was travelling from Albury, I would go thru to Broken Hill & over to Perterborough to the Ranges. From there you take your pick to where you want to go.

Great way to go.

How about along the Murray Valley Highway to Mildura, into SA and on through the Riverland over to Morgan, then up to Burra and on to Terowie...... stop.
IF you are equipped for remote area travel, you could take the barrier highway to Yunta, swing left and then across the badlands and up to Balcanoona.... Arkaroola is then only a hop, skip and jump further.
OR
If not into remote area travel, left at Terowie, up to Peterborough, Carrieton, Hawker and on to Copley. Chuck a right and drift on to Balcanoona once again.
I would suggest the latter route has a lot more re interesting places along the way.
Variation to the Copley route above......
At Hawker, turn right and go up through Wilpena, and Blinman to Balcanoona.
So many good places to camp in the last two scenarios - too numerous to mention I'd say.

Follow the river to S.A. , then hang a right , we loved Burra ,great service in Peterborugh hardware store for gas bottle refills [cheapest gas refill anywhere] ,need a bl--dy big hammer to get the pegs in at the Pound camp area ..enjoy the trip.

OldMike 2, I would suggest, as others have done, go via Morgan,Burra,
Peterborough & return via Broken Hill. We found Wilpena a very agreeable camp
site & suitable for day trips base, but plenty of other places available. Stayed at
Angorichina one night, fairly ordinary. There are bush camping possibilities but again, security is a bit of a problem if you go away during the day. Skytrek is
recommended. Enjoy your trip...oldbaz.

I prefer to take the Riverina Highway from Albury thru Finley, Deniliquin, Moulamein and Kyalite - less traffic and nice straight roads. You'll find it significantly quicker than the Murray Valley Highway.

Then Mildura, Renmark, Waikerie, Burra etc
