- Flinders Ranges by 4wd - G'day, mates! Buckle up as we embark on another thrilling adventure in this episode, set in the striking Flinders Ranges of South Australia. This time we are exploring the lesser-known stations, their challenging 4wd tracks, and sharing reviews of the satellite communicators we used on this trip.
Our destination in Part one is the Horseshoe Top End Station, often referred to as the mini Wilpena Pound, due to its stunning natural amphitheatre. Steeped in a rich history and offering plenty of off-road trails to navigate, this station provides an immersive outback experience. Our journey takes us through rocky terrain, winding river beds, and unspoilt wilderness that will make any 4wd enthusiast's heart race.
We round off our day by setting up camp at the Top Of the World Campsite, aptly named for the mesmerising panoramic views it offers. Nestled high in the hills, this campsite provides a remarkable vantage point to soak in the beauty of the Flinders Ranges. Don't miss the magical transformation of the landscape at sunset, when the golden sunrays hit the ochre ridges and the sky paints a symphony of colours.
As part of this expedition, I've also tested two highly-rated 2-way Satellite Communicators - the Zoleo and the Garmin InReach Mini 2. Being in remote areas makes reliable communication essential, and these gadgets promise just that. From ease of use to signal strength, battery life, and emergency features, I examine all the key factors to give you a balanced review and my personal favourite
So, whether you're planning your own escapade into the outback, or just fancy a virtual journey from the comfort of your couch, this episode is sure to give you some lesser known travel destinations.

Awesome video Stefan !!
Thank you very much!
awesome video Thank you!
You're welcome!
I love seeing more content on some of the smaller and less well known areas in the Flinders.
yep coming
Love your work and look forward to heading out there soon. Love seeing these lesser known places. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful place! I went to Horseshoe Top End in 2018 and loved it there. Thanks for bringing back some memories. Looks like you were lucky with the wind we camped in the valley because the ridge would have blown us back to Newcastle. Cheers Steve
yea we where lucky no wind lol
Stunning!!
Thank you! 😊
Good one Stefan. Enjoyed it a lot 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Will be there in 3 weeks, thanks for all the ideas.
Have fun!
thank you for sharing your travels once again, loved the stunning drone footage.did a bit of flinders last year on the way from sydney to uluru, beautiful part of world....look forward to rest of your trip.
Glad you enjoyed it
two very pleasant station stays with comfortable tracks over interesting ground. Hammond is a marvel of ignorance of the Australian climate. Settled soon after 1:100 year good rain. Moving north from Orroroo across Goyder's Line, changes from marginal cropping to bare earth in just a few kilometres in summer.
yes like so many places which were settled in the interior
Nice one Stefan,was heading that way in August with the wife but alas not to be 😭😭,now in 24.It's great you are giving me more tour tips.Thanks
yea looks like will be very wet in August
Thanks Stefan, will add to my itinerary , planning Flinders Ranges, Oodnadatta Track, Birdsville Track, Simpson Desert next year.
Dilemma take 60 series or 105
105 will be more comfortable
105,,or a gu nissan.. diesel.. 60 series too shart w/ base.. leafs.. nissan better w/base, stronger diff, steering box. cheaper..80m series last decent toyota.. except they deleted the transmission brake.. i dont drive jap 4x4rs.. or jeep..or landi..stay away from computers & ifs..
Oh Stephan, you've become a drone addict!
I just finished a 7k km outback trek and noticed many 'No drones' signs popping up from Coward Springs, Yulara and King's Canyon and beyond. Love your drone footage mate but the noise those things make 😝
it’s a great way to take video and photos. The noise is marginal for a few second before it’s higher up and to be honest I say in 19 out of 20 times there is now one but our group to hear any noise.
With Celfi-go, you need a big cellular antenna to get the best out of it. The bigger your antenna, the longer your range. I have mine connected to a 2m antenna, and I could get full reception from up to 20+km away.
yea I need data cellular is not important anymore as I have wifi calling with data.
Oh to be back in the Flinders Ranges, was there Aug last year ! Thanks for the EFFORT MADE Stefan.
PS is the Liniar light somewhat softer in tone or shade ?
my pleasure mate, no same colour temp but it works so well I love it. I just installed the 24" Linear Elite on the Hilux keen to see as that goes as it will be the only aux light
Good videos. Wondering what time of year this trip was?
May/June 2023
Hi Stephan, would you be so kind to show us all the electronic gadgets that you have with you during your trips like gps, radios ,internet, power supply, emergency and etc. Thanks.
I have done most of the gadgets previously but in separate videos for instance Emergency Communication ruclips.net/video/ZOmFybcuUD8/видео.html
Thanks mate. Except for a few obvious places, could you get a 14' off-road caravan (Sunseeker VH) into the property?
yes I would say so
@@AlloffroadAu Thanks
Good information and views but getting a slap in the face at the end was a bit off putting.
not sure what that means
@@AlloffroadAu
When the hand is pushed towards the camera lens to end the segment.
It’s like a slap in the face of the viewer (in my opinion).
ah I see what you mean, not meant like that at all just a transition
you go to to nature...why hitting animals..dont get it?
hitting animals?? you must have watched the wrong movie mate
