With the ever increasing number of private propertys offering tracks for hire in the Flinders, which would have the most spectacular
views, the most challenging tracks or best accomodation for a large group?
Cheers Craig.........

Craig,
Argadells (near
Quorn) is great for a 4wd club group. Has a wide variety of challenging tracks, and some of the best
views in the Flinders. Can drive up the top of Mt Arden, and follow part of the
Heysen trail. Keep you occupied for 2-3 days. Facilities are not great, but the property is good. Contact me offline if you wish hdj79r at internode dot on dot net
Argadells
Southern Flinders:
Bendleby Ranges has excellent facilities, is very
well run, has two sets of tracks to keep you occupied for a couple of days. Costs are a bit above average.
Bendleby Ranges
Cheers
Phil

Craig,
As
well as the two above, there is also
Warraweena Sanctuary.
It has some of the best camping and driving on offer in the
Flinders Ranges.
Another great spot and a favourite of
mine is Arkaroola in the northern Flinders.
Good camping and great driving.
Both are offered at reasonable costs.
Geoff.

Skytrek is meant to be good, I haven't been there yet,
Argadells was very good and Worumba was good.

Skytrek is very good, did it about 2 yrs ago. Suitable for the inexperienced too.

We have recently returned from our first Flinders run. Did the Arkapena Scenic Adventure on the Arkapena property. Stayed at Raunsley Park and organised it there.
We are inexperienced but found it great, a mental challenge more than physical. We have a greater appreciation of what the car will do. Great
views, few good steep climbs and declines to keep you on your toes.
From discusions with others the Chance Range spectacular has a couple of excellent sections as it goes over the range.
Looking forward to do some of the others on our next trip.
Argadell's comes highly recommmeded as mentioned above.
Cheers
Steve
