Hi All,
I have heard about a trek to the top of Mt Plantagenet in the
Flinders Ranges. It is situated east of
Hawker. I have googled "Mt Plantagenet" and searched
Treks and
Places here with little success on track details. It is situated at - S 31.88376 E138.6819
Has anyone done this track or can supply details of it
Cheers
Terry

'Easy' rated 4wd track. Has other drives as
well, none of which are hard core.
Probably the second highest driveable peak in the
Flinders Ranges (Mt Caernavon on Willow Springs Station/Skytrek may be a tad higher). The peak is very prominent as you drive north from
Cradock, or from
Quorn towards
Hawker. From
the summit you can see south west over to Mt Arden; down to Devils Peak & Mt Brown (both south & past
Quorn); northwest to the magnificent
Elder Range with Mt Aleck as its northern most peak; and of course north-nor-west to the
Wilpena Pound ramparts. In other words, a unique view of the Flinders region - just as the photo in the post suggests.
Worumba is a great location, as it is an hour or more south of the Wilpena & the central Flinders region, thereby saving en-route driving time.
Excellent shearers quarters, or many isolated camping sites if that takes your fancy.
For the life of my I can't work out why more people are not talking about and visiting this station. (no affiliation, etc..).
Cheers
Rick
