Caroona creek

Hi Louie the fly

I am very surprised that no one has answered your request. It is a great spot and it is very different to the other type of country that you will pass as you make your way in.

I have to admit that I have never camped there, as it is quite close to were we live...I know a very poor excuse. There is a designated camping area and some very interesting things to see out that way.

Here are some images of what you can expect to see out that way, or better still, combine it with the Dares Hill Scenic Drive, see my Trek file that I did for EO a number of years ago. Here is the link : Dares Hill Scenic Drive

G'day Louie,

We've camped at Caroona Creek a couple of times in the area of the old shearing shed and enjoyed it very much. Its a great drive in from north of Burra and then out to the south towards Redbank through some old gold mining areas. There are some interesting old ruins too and the old Sir Hubert Wilkins homestead is worth a visit. I've got the Oziexplorer track file for our trip that follows the back tracks through Mt Bryan if you are interested. A good weekender from Adelaide.

I was reading a recent DENR article on Caroona which stated that wood fires are banned altogether there. I note on Steven L's photo it gives between dates which is the fire danger period, but it might pay to have a look at the website and be prepared to take gas.

Cheers

John
