Hope you can help, We are off to the
Flinders Ranges in 3 weeks, and would like to do some (many) self drive 4wd tracks, ie: Sky Trek / Merna Morna station. We are
well prepaired ( vehicle & camper trailer),but should we book ahead, or as they say wing it till we get over there. Will stay at
Rawnsley Park - Arkaroola, we know that there are fees to drive station tracks, also we have not been there before and have read Ron & Viv Moon's book The
Flinders Ranges an Adventurer's Guide many times and will read it again.
Thanks for your replies in advance

Hi Tony
You will not be in School Holidays, so you should have any problems at all. Many of the drives have strict starting times, so do as we have done in the past, ring the day before to find out their starting times and if they are booked out.
Another
good spot to stay is also in
Wilpena Pound. I hope you have given your self lots of time, as there is such a lot to see and for a first time visit, even 2 weeks will not be enough.
Another great drive and free is the
Glass Gorge drive, with the side trip out to Nuccaleena
Ruins - make this also a must do drive. Have a look at the trek notes for the Flinders, as I have written a number of the drives including the rewarding
St Mary Peak hike.
Enjoy the Flinders, it is a very special part of SA
Cheers
Stephen

Thanks Stephen L, for your reply. We will have 2-3 weeks there, I was going to ring them to book the
treks the night before. And we will try to travel and
bush camp as much as possible so we can experience the real Flinders not just the tourist parts
