sky trek flinders ranges

Did sky trek a few years ago. Ran my vehicle with 30psi.

Good trip. Cannot remember any loose sand. Beautiful country and great views.

Enjoy

G'day

We did Skytrek at Easter.
Took tryes down to 25psi, because we weren't too sure what to expect, but its really quite tame.

and its only the last 15km that you even need to engage 4WD, for a few rocky steep climbs & descents.

By the way, Willow Springs is also a great place to stay, with private large campsites and drop toilets on each site. We stayed a campsite No.5 which was the end of the track, so no passer bys.

Not sure what its like now, anywhere between 25 and 30 should see you right.

No sand, there used to be a couple of climbs with some shale on them, but nothing to bad. Good camping and accommodation also.

Go and enjoy and say Hi to Carmel and Brendan.

25-26 psi is the best pressure to run in the Flinders regardless of track and condition. Whilst some may consider Skytrek a little tame the climb to Mt Caenarvon has become quite rutted because people are running pressures beyond them and think that wheel spin is the correct way to climb a rocky track. So be kind to the environment you are driving in, use low range second or third for the climb and take it easy on the accelerator and you will be fine.

Depending on how long you are in the Flinders the following tracks are woth a visit

Chace Range and Arkapeena Scenic Adventure
Mt Buggery Gorge
The Oratunga track
Visit Merna Mora for a drive around their tracks as well
Also plenty of sight seeing and don't forget to drop in to the Parachilna Pub for a feral mixed grill and Copely bakery for a great coffee and quandong pie
