Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park

Reviewed By 993anitat - Forster, Australia

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.

Powell Gardens

Reviewed By varib - Adelaide, Australia

this is not too well advertised but it's worth a visit if you appreciate growing native plants in dry areas. It's a credit to all involved.
