There is so much more to see in the Flinders Ranges. The gorges are incredible, amazing rock formations, white granite boulders and loads of emus. The houses were abandoned because back in the day supplies had to come from Adelaide by horses and bullocks and it was eventually too hard to survive there. When the settlers left they took floors, roofs, windows etc, whatever was transportable, because it was so expensive and could be used in their new homes. The old ghan railway was there originally, but later diverted. It used to go through a sheep property I stayed in and the owner gave me a small piece of the railway track to use as an anvil for making jewellery. Great souvenir. A beautiful memory in an amazing place ❤️😮

Hi guys, not sure how much travel you've done in the outback but just wanting to give a tip. Make sure you've got a few jerry cans of fuel with you as the petrol stations are few and far between. Also a couple boxes of water just incase you brake down. There's not a lot of traffic out there so it's good to have plenty water just incase you're waiting a while for help. Anyway, I'm sure you've probably got all that sorted but just wanted to give the tip to make sure you have a fun and safe trip. :)

That's not necessary on most roads and highways in Australia. Those rules only really apply when really going off the beaten track like the Gunbarrel Highway and some of the Developmental roads in central Australia. But the Flinders/Ayers Rock and many places like that aren't really that isolated or dangerous...even on dirt roads or tracks as they are pretty popular tourist and holiday destinations made for normal cars to reach the hot spots easily enough. My family and I used to travel all over Australia in every state (except Tassie) in first a VW Kombi camper and then some Xb and xc falcon wagons with caravans, concluding our travels with an XE falcon sedan and then a Toyota Coaster bus (only the XE had air-conditioning). My mum used to drive (with care of course) her Ford XE on dirt tracks through cattle stations and many dirt roads...in almost 20 years of travelling we never had any problems because we maintained our cars regularly. Also the majority of the roads we travelled we never carried or needed to carry anything more than a 4 litre water cooler (that always quickly got warm) or one or two 2 litre bottles...this was mainly to save money because cold drinks are expensive on the road. Usually a road sign will warn you if you enter a road or area that you need supplies.

Some years ago we were up that way in the Flinders and took a side track dirt road which didn't have too many visitors, esp. at that time of year on a week day. At the end of that dirt road in 38 degree heat our vehicle broke down and wasn't fixable without being towed. But we had plenty of extra water on board (at least 20 litres) and food so we weren't worried. We set up a shelter and chilled out. No mobile reception either at that time. Almost 4 hours later, someone else eventually turned up and I got a lift to the next town. We got the vehicle towed and 3 days later had it fixed.

Yellow footed rock wallabies in the wild! They have been endangered for a long time, but they hang on in rocky country like this. The only trouble with shade under gum trees is limbs can drop without warning, especially in windy weather. 😬 You drove right by the jewel in the crown of the Flinders - Wilpena Pound (or maybe after a hike the view of the Elder Ranges from Bridle Gap on the SW side of Wilpena Pound). Understandable I guess in the summer heat, but it's only a few Km from the motel to the central Pound. I would also mention the somewhat vigorous climb to St Mary's peak which has a stunning view, however the Adnyamathanha people do request that visitors refrain from ascending St Mary's Peak (Ngarri Mudlanha) past Tanderra Saddle (which still has incredible views) for spiritual reasons. You can loop through the central Pound & back via the saddle with a reasonable modicum of fitness.

Am really loving watching you guys travelling our Beautiful State of SA! 💖 As an Aussie and Long Time Traveller of this Great Island - I would highly recommend: - NEVER stay in a Riverbed - even in the driest of driest seasons, a sudden storm can turn that Riverbed into a Torrent - it takes only moments. - A Fan at night can really help when it is hot. - When travelling on dirt, it is a good idea to lower your tyre pressure - be sure to have a little compressor available to reinflate them when needed (don't buy from REPCO though, their compressors are shite!) - Water. No matter how much you THINK you have - double it. - Jerry cans. Get some. These are for petrol in an emergency. The Outback can be brutal. - IF (and NONE of us want this to happen to anyone!), but IF your car breaks down - STAY WITH IT! Do NOT go into the bush thinking to find help - help will find you, IF you are still near your car. - Wear sturdy shoes & thick socks when walking - you won't even see the snake. - Never drive in the evening or early morning - far too much wildlife on the roads. Haha, but our wildlife can be troublesome at any time - always pay attention. And last, but by no means the least: Have an AMAZING Time! Australia, especially the Outback, is a Force Unto Itself - soak it ALL in xox 💯💕 Safe Travels! We are here for it👌🖖

Others have probably already pointed this out, but you should avoid camping beneath Eucalyptus trees. When it's very dry, they sometimes drop branches to reduce moisture loss. The branches that they drop will sheer off near the trunk and can be very large. These larger branches are known as "widow makers", which is a clue as to why you don't want to be beneath them when they drop. And they can drop with little to no warning. Also, please don't use the American pronunciation of Emu. They are Eem-Yuse, not E-Moos.

The Flinders Ranges are the last strong hold for the yellow footed rock wallabies. You were lucky to see so many. Unfortunately, because of all the hunting for their beautiful furs in the past, they are now an endangered species. I know you guys think that every hopping animal you see is either a kangaroo or wallaby but not true. Australia was blessed with almost 50 different species of hopping critters (macropods). Sadly only a few species are common( such as Reds and Greys): the rest are in danger of going extinct. That's particularly the case for the smaller wallabies, potoroo, pademellons and bettongs. Their numbers have been decimated by feral cats and foxes. If you have the time please visit Wilpena Pound its a totally enclosed crater ( natural wonder) , you will love it Glen and Mado.😊

The Kangaroo family have many types from the usual Red and Grey large ones, the smaller ones are wallabies (you actually saw the most rare ones called Yellow Footed Rock wallabies, they live on the rock faces in The Flinders. In some areas of Australia you will find Potoroos, Bilbies and Bettongs which are the smallest of the roo families, not much bigger than cat … but they’re marsupials too and hop. …these are also rare. The big lizard is called a Goanna. I agree with some of the previous comments too regarding camping in the outback … you need to be careful to give your intentions and dates to somebody beforehand. Things can go wrong and it doesn’t take long in the bush to get into serious trouble. Anyway, glad you are enjoying our awesome home! Xx

Be careful with just one spare tyre. If you hit bad unsealed rds and get a blown tyre you then have no spare. If a rd is bad and you blow a second your stranded. Then depending on your mobile phone carrier you may not get phone coverage. Then your stranded waiting for someone to drive by. If theyvdrive by. . So try let someone know where your heading and your expected arrival time and phone once you get there and leave. Some sort of journey management. If your left with no spare tyre you need to know where to get a new spare tyre.. There's lots of risks out there like the old Swiss cheese model . So please be careful in considering things that could go wrong before you head off on the unsealed roads in potentially extreme weather. Remember Stranded on a dirt rd in 44 degree heat with no phone coverage and minimal water could get dangerous. Keep up the great travels and I luv glens comedy lol
