Big day driving from Tumby Bay to Melrose adjacent to Mt Remarkable in the Flinders Ranges. Nice town-2 pubs and a brewery! Came via Horrocks Pass through the ranges. Took a drive back to Wilmington and a very hilly drive to Alligator Gorge. Gorge well worth doing- looks a lot like the NW gorges.Read more
TravelerThe drive up that way is quite stunning, and the gorges are very similar to ours, as you say.
TravelerYes. The road to get through the Flinders Ranges via Horrocks Pass was very impressive. I don't know whether you have been to Alligator Gorge but we saw a cyclist walking up the first of the hills and there was a series of very steep hills much worse than the first - suffice to say we didn't see him at the gorge as he must have given up and turned around. Mind you your older sister Audrey probably would have made it on her electric bike!!!
TravelerYes it was but we were following a couple of caravans so we were just hanging back. I really enjoyed the alignment through the ranges. No easier way
