Be sure to head up the road a tad to the
Gammon Ranges NP. Much more remote and worth the visit.
Check out the Grindel's Hut area .. a great spot and you can take a good run through the back blocks to Arkaroola. The run across to Lake Fromme is also worth it. But if it's anything like last April the bloody flies will drive you completely mental.Rosco

I travelled through the Flinders last december and yes it was hot but the beauty was there were hardly any other people around.We travelled up from
Yunta and stayed at Chambers
Gorge,absolutely beautiful,peaceful and full of wild life. Then we headed back through
Blinman and
Glass Gorge to Parachilna,
well worth the trip. I have been through the Flinders a number of times in all seasons and found early summer to be the best.

jugular - or whatever -
Suggest you do a search on this topic. It is a regularly asked question.
If you have time, go on a P.A.R. or one of the many private 4wd
treks in the region.
Read my recent posts, and that of Willie's. We were both up there last week, but in different locations.

Gday,
I suggest that you give SKYTREK on
Willow Springs station a try. It is 21 Kms Nth of
Wilpena Pound, have alook at their web site www.frabs.com.au/skytrek.htm.
Also Arkaroola is
well worth the extra
miles. Brachina and Bunyaroo Gorges are great scenery,and camping is
well worth it at Chambers
Gorge.
Have a look at www.flinders.outback.on.net for other ideas.
Cheers
ROO

I know you may have already done so but I am staggered at the number of people that don't know - Have a look at the
Flinders Ranges Trek Notes on this site. Go to Trip Planning - TrekNotes and select SA - Flinders region.
Enjoy.Regards
