It's lovely to see what's in the backyard of South Australia. So many people live in SA all their lives and never venture out to see the wonderful sights right at their doorstep. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. So beautiful and picturesque.
Thank you, it is amazing how correct you are regarding the locals not going into their own backyard, SA has so much to offer from beaches to the outback🙂
Thank you for all the information you pass on to us on your travels. You make it so much easier for others when planning these trips and have so many questions about what to expect etc. Cheers !
I think they close off the roads now so that no one can get into trouble with the flowing waters. We went through Bunyeroo Gorge one time years ago when there was a lot of water in it, very beautiful to see.
I loved everything about this episode. I went to all those spots too, spectacular scenery everywhere and also a special hard to explain feeling about just being there. I was lucky enough to see quite a few yellow footed rock wallabies 😄. Thanks for a great episode.
The feeling of just being there is something that perhaps a lot wouldn't understand, it is a beautiful area. Hopefully we will see a yellow footed wallaby one day, we will just have to wait and see.
More great scenery. I enjoyed the feeling of sitting in between you and Sally looking out the windscreen as you drove around. 😀 nice that you mention when a 2 wheel drive can do any of the drives as well. I think people forget that not everyone has a 4 wheel drive. Weve never owned one actually but weve seen plenty of country without it and many places where people now would think only a 4 wheel drive can go. Thanks for sharing more adventures with us. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
Once again able to take a break and enjoy "armchair travelling" 😎 Memories - bus trip A to Alice via Flinders Ranges. 💙 Q - in your intro it's mentioned you started travelling in the 80's with what and where I started in the 50's with a bondwood caravan! And then aluminium - camper trailers - converted vans - tents ( lived in a large one with two kids - hubby Q railway) slide on camper and one whose ends folded out! And travelled Aust - added Tassie this year - cabins Many thanks - happy safe travels❤
We started towing a caravan with a VJ Valiant station wagon towing a 15 foot Viscount pop top- The Viscount was as light as a feather to tow. We took it to Melbourne and along the Murry River as well as Adelaide each year for some time. The orange vehicle showing Sally and I in our younger days at the start of each video has the Viscount on the back.
That is certainly some spectacular countryside, it would look glorious in the early morning & late afternoon sunshine but it seems that the summertime is the best time for the colours, so you would have to be made of tough stuff, although dry heat is more tolerable than the humid heat we get here in the eastern side of the country. I enjoyed seeing the two emus! We had a couple of earth quakes in the Flinders ranges over this past week only tiddlers but they would have made an impression on those camped there. Looking forward to next Friday night!!
A long story, something that was never intended to be. When the older UHF set was upgraded, we decided to leave the old one in the vehicle to make it easier when driving as we monitor two channels at the same time.

Glad to hear that you have got something out of the videos, thank you.
Stunning scenery. Beautiful narration.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve driven through both theses gorges with both rivers running above the tyres for sure. Beautiful

Such a great video and wonderfully filmed. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.👍

It's absolutely stunning so thanks for your work putting this all on video for us, really helpful as heading up that way soon.
Glad it was helpful!

Dirt roads were around a long time before 4WD's were. We need to take a step back and see that we don't need a 4WD to go a lot of places.
Nice piece, thanks. Your VLOG has given me a steer for that area.
It is a beautiful location, enjoy it if you ever go that way🙂
Morning 😊 Beautifull scenery 👍🏼 Awesome video 👏🏼 Thanks for sharing 💯 Greetings and Cheers 🍻 From South Africa 🇿🇦
Morning to you, thanks for watching🙂

Good video Mick wouldn't like that drive in the wet season bet you had to wash the Holden when you got home, all the best from Scotland
There was a great effort required to clean the Colorado when we did get home, amazing how dirty a vehicle can get without any rain falling.

The hot days would definitely bring out the colours👍
I wish I had seen this video before I went to Flinfers Ranges. I would have stayed another few nights to do these gorges too. Maybe next time
We all need a reason to go back to a good location, sounds like you have yours. We really enjoyed the gorge camping in the Flinders👍
Just subbed to you , from Coober Pedy.
Very good, welcome aboard🙂 We will be up your way after Easter next year on our way to the NT & WA👍
Actually my trip up there was 1966 in a 1962 EK Holden, and then onto Marree and Oodnadatta , so as you say 2 wheel drive is OK with care.
For sure👍
Went up to the top of St Mary's Peak back in 1971
Would like to get up one day but not too sure if it will ever happen now.
Hey Mick, what’s with the 2 Aerials , they look the same or are they a 3db and 6 db and if so how do you use them?
