Willow Springs

Today was a great day. We did Skytrek, a 80km self-drive 4WD track on a working 70,000-acre sheep station called Willow Springs which is not far from Wilpena Pound. The whole loop is slow going and takes a solid seven hours.
​The driving itself was an absolute blast. We were navigating through everything: bouncing across rugged mountain valleys, crossing creeks lined with massive river red gums, and tackling some serious ascents and descents over multiple mountain ranges.
​We had a self-guided map, that was full of information about what the pastoral life out here is like. We passed old shepherd's huts in ruins, ancient aboriginal etchings, ochre cliffs, and working station stuff like windmills and mustering yards.
​The absolute highlight was the views. We stopped at Upalinna Lookout for the incredible panoramic view of Wilpena Pound, and another spot called 'Eagle’s View' that looks out over the entire Flinders landscape.
And of course we finished the day off eating dinner by the camp fire under the stars with the crew....truly stunning 😍.Read more
