Warraweena

Austravel

I did all the trek mapping for Warraweena :-)

Mt Gill is the best track with spectacular views rated now at about 7 out of 10 and Cockatoo Dunbar rated at about 5 out of 10, but 1 point more if you include Suicide Hill

If you camp at Warraweena then the treks only cost $40 per vehicle. There are a number of Free Tracks as well so normally you may only do one paid track. It depends on how long you intend to stay.

Hi Austravel
We have only been as far as Sliding Rock at Warraweena. The tracks further east may be great but can not comment. While Sling Rock was OK, for me the better site is Nuccaleena, off of the Glass Gorge Road, from Blinman. Once again it is all personal choice. The drive into Warraweena is quite barren, compared to the scenery of the Flinders further south. There are many fine gorges to visit in the areas between Wilpena and Blinman.

Where ever you travel in the Flinders, you will find it one of South Australia's top locations.

Cheers

If you are from Victoria you may find the cost of camping & travelling many of the private properties including Warraweena are not particually good value when compared to the Vic High Country for example where you have more spectacular views & far greater 4x4 challenges with alot of facilities at no cost at all. You must remember this is primarily a conservation reserve so although they rate some drives as difficult, even sections like Suicide Hill are pretty easy.
Our group visited several of the private properties a few years back & of those found Warraweena the best having a good variety of scrambling tracks, history & scenery. Arkaroola may be slightly better but facilities have been slipping for years & prices rising so we wont be going back there in the near future.
IMHO there are better views/gorges/lookouts around other parts of the Flinders & Gammons many accessable for free via the PARs etc but anything new is always worth a look in my book despite the cost.

Hi Austravel

Warraweena is a very nice placel , but fairly small , and I do not think it is worth $300 for the few drives that are there.

From our point of view in Victoria , the tracks like those reffered to in todays post 74562 have it all, much greater variety, both harder and softer , including at least 50 river crossings and are all completely free and you can have camp fires all year round except on fire ban days .
