Bendleby Ranges has a range of self-drive 4WD tours, varying from 1 to 5 hours.There are enough 4WD tracks to keep you busy for more than a couple of days, ranging from beginner to very challenging. Terrain varies from hills to plains with excellent views towards Lake Frome & Wilpena Pound.The training track is a great place to try out your driving skills and check out your vehicle capabilities before tackling some of the more challenging tracks.

Great place to go bush, sit around the campfire, million star swag overnight accommodation, in desingnated camp sites (with a long drop) and firewood provide all for reasonable price. With plenty of 4WD tracks available at various skill levels reccommended it's not hard to have a great fun weekend away with your mates. We will be back.

I am stuck for words for a change. the views are of Flinders Ranges are breathtaking We stayed at Rawnsley Station and were very impressed with the powered campsite, with exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to help in any way with nothing being too much trouble. Great family-friendly camping, very safe and clean. There is something for everyone, with differing levels of fitness. Everywhere you look the views are magnificent.

We had a 4WD and off road camper and decided to head out to Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park from Blinman. This road was in quite good condition and the scenery was beautiful. We stayed the night at Arkaroola before heading into the national park at Weetootla Campground. The road through the national park to the campground was quite rough and narrow and we were glad we didn't meet anyone coming the other way. Such a beautiful but very arid landscape. We walked up the gorge which crossed over the Balcanoona Creek several times. We only saw one small waterhole. Our knees only allow us to do short distances these days so unfortunately we didn't get out to see Grindells Hut. However, the area we did walk through was just so rugged, harsh and yet beautiful. It was very hot at the end of October and there were heaps of flies. Don't forget your fly veils, hat, sunscreen and lots of water when heading off. The trail has markers along the way but in some places it was quite easy to miss them and wander down the creek. We did it a couple of times. There were a few people camping at Weetootla and there is a drop toilet and water tank. Worth remembering is that you can get a free shower at the Balconoona Park Headquarters. They have interesting information boards and a great old woolshed you can wander through.

It is quite steep, but not a long walk. The very last section needs a little bit of rock climbing ability, but if you dont want to go the extra, there are still fine views across two valleys, and you can see the vast north/south stretch of the Flinders. Three 60+ males of reasonable health made it easily enough. Highlight was seeing a youngish monitor lizard , about 80cm long with very distinctive leg and neck markings, and a banded tail finishing in a pale orange. It was in a low tree and only about 3 metres away. Also recommend Dutchman's Stern and Mt Brown walks in the Quorn area

We drove along this road from east to west early one morning in a rented 4WD. It was the only thing we planned to do that day so we took our time and found it to be a very meaningful experience. The hIghlights included the well written explanations, the SILENCE, the trees, the yellow-footed rock wallabies (6 of them - we must have been the first car that day), the natural beauty of the gorges and the expansive plains between the western extent of the range and the Parachilna road. We did a u-turn and returned to Wilpena Pound via the Bunyeroo Gorge.

The walking trail is 7.5 km, a return route and it is located within the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park It is this peaceful and scenic gum-lined gorge. You get to see interesting rugged rock formations. Early morning and evening kangaroos and birds.
