Flinders Ranges

14th September

We had a lovely few days exploring the Flinders Rangers. The scenic drives were stunning!!

First, we headed to Parachilna Gorge and camped in a beautiful free camp next to the dry riverbed.

 

We took a drive around the area, and up to the town of Blinman, with lovely old buildings. The drive coming back down the gorge was beautiful!

 

Our next stop was Trezona Campsite, inside the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National park. Another pretty campsite! And nice views out over the ranges.

 

The drive from Parachilna and through Brachina Gorge was really beautiful – but one of the worst roads we’ve ever done with the van.

 

The following morning, we did the beautiful Bunyeroo scenic drive – just stunning!!

 

We then headed south, and along the Moralana Scenic Drive, finishing up at Merna Mora Station, on the west side of the ranges. It was a lovely campsite, with a fabulous view of the ranges. It was a great place to watch the sunset turn the ranges a beautiful red colour, while the full moon rose behind.
