Flinders Ranges

Hi there H & F,

I miss my 80 series, I had to part ways with my old favourite and take up with a 100 series. All good so far, looking forward to having more adventures in this one. There are some lovely spots on the GOR - a couple of lovely ones are Johanna Beach (free, stunning and behind the dunes - no fires though), Aire River (my favourite, free, lots of koalas and fires are ok) and if you want a commercial campground try Bimbi Park south of Apollo Bay (gum forest, koalas, horse riding, wood pizzas and rustic outdoor cinema Wed and Sat nights - very sweet little place). Or closer to Lorne is Cumberland River which is lovely and right on the river, but watch the wind, it can get a little blowy through the gorge.
My landy is white and I'll be towing a (very) old Finch, will probably see you up there!

Happy travels,

Kim

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the heads up on those places ,Really appreciate it. Cheers.
My wife Karen(Fysh), has wanted to travel the Great Ocean rd for many many years, We've finally been able to plan a trip that will take it in.
I'm going to ask as many questions as I can at the Gathering, on where to go in the Flinders, what to see and where to stay,
Wish we had longer, oh well, next time lol. :)

Take care, hope you guys have a great time.

Hi John,

I have an old beat up but well loved Jayco Finch and like you I'll only have a week. My boys love road trips and long stints in the car aren't a problem (most of the time!), but it sounds like we may be better off finding one area to explore and come back for more another time. I'm hoping I can get into the Brachina Gorge towing my camper and we can escape the potential crowds just before the school holidays!

Thanks for the tips, will definitely check out your favourites.

We are going to Arkaroola ...on our way to Wilpena area, and while its expensive....we don't plan on spending any money there except for camping fees down by the creek bed....

Its a sort of place that's worth seeing....keeping in mind things like the lookout tour are way overpriced...
