Working our way up from easy to moderate walks. Yesterday hillier but shorter distance. Both rewarding with great views.
Ventured a bit further out on foot to get some great views and explore the local history.
As well as powered and unpowered sites, a range of other options for staying at Flinders Ranges. Motel rooms, lodges, basic and luxury safari tents.
Lots of walks to do from the campsite so a day without needing to get in the car. There’s an IGA, cafe and restaurant with lots of accommodation options including glamping tents.
Quaintest historic town we went through was Peterborough only 1000 people with a gear vibe. Arrived Wilpena Pound Campground 4pm and set up for a 10 night stay.
Left Lake Hattah campsite after a good look around. A “no diesel no coffee” stop an interesting experience as was quarantine station with all vehicle stopped and checked for fruit and veg.Read more
