Flinders Ranges SA / Part 2 - Spear Creek to Rawnsley Park Station

Warren Gorge is 21kms north of Quorn in the Flinders Ranges South Australia. We came there for two nights before moving to Quorn where we marvel at the town’s history and watch the Silo Light Show. On our way to the Rawnsley Park Campgroundwe check out the old Kanyaka Homestead ruins, this and lots more as we move around in the Flinders.

I was going to stop to see the silo light show in Quorn but because we couldn't go on the train we just passed through the town. The town was amazing in the way it has been kept. I can see why the movies love it. We stayed 3 nights up in Wilpena pound. I heard a lot about Rawnsley Park. If I ever go back I'll give them a go

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

The Quorn light show is well worth the time to view as it details the history of the area without spending too much time on any one point. Wilpena Pound has a great campground, pity it is so expensive during the peak times. Rawnsley Park is your typical outback bush type camping with the availability of power hook up if you wish.

Loved the wattle flower, always been one of my favourite flowers. Seeing the mountains in your split view took my breath away!! I had forgotten just how beautiful the Flinders ranges are, we drove as far as Hawker & then turned back as the end of December is not a good time for traveling in that area especially as our car back then didn't have airconditioning. I was blown away by the colours & always wanted to go back but it never happened. My first introduction to the ranges was seeing one of Albert Namatjira's paintings as a child of around 10 at school & falling in love with the colours & to see the Flinders reminded me so much of his artwork & the incredible fact that his paintings were true to life. So I am really looking forward to seeing next week's video & probably ones after that as well. I also just love the gum trees & the countryside such beautiful places to camp & enjoy!! I could almost smell the bush when I was watching the video. 😀

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

December would certainly have been a hot time of the year to visit the area. The colours and the gum trees along the creeks are a sight to envy, we love it.

What lovely places and stunning scenery 😍👍🏽

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Sure is, we love it🙂

[@cherylrayes8015]

Never been to Rawnsley but it looks awesome. A friend and I took my Mum to the Flinders for her 80th camping in a camper trailer. It was a great time and the scenery was amazing especially the colour changes during the day. Thanks for sharing your trip. Cheers Cheryl

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you Cheryl. I don't think things have changed at all in the area since we first started going that way, still almost untouched away from the campgrounds keeping it as beautiful as ever.

[@j-dawg4015]

Also love your vids Mick. Very professional 👌🇦🇺👍

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks 👍

[@phillipecook3227]

The colours are glorious ... often breathtaking. These videos deserve a much larger following. Balm for the soul after a 12 hour nursing shift.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you, glad you liked the colours as we did.🙂

We are really enjoying your videos. Your Retirement is certainly giving us a lot of enjoyment. Keep up the great work. Regards from Rotorua

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

So much for us to be able to go and see now without having a return date to go back to work, much easier and more relaxing. Glad you like the videos, thank you🙂

[@brentonl1746]

Thanks for this look at the Flinders especially Rawnsley Park as we are looking at going there early next year. Safe travelling.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dougkruse1301]

Real interesting,thanks.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you.

[@robyndehavilland1609]

I stayed at Rawnsley Park for a week in March this year in one of the Eco Villas. Loved it there so much. Did lots of amazing adventures from there which I think I saw a sneak peek of in your following episode. Flinders Ranges is such an incredibly beautiful place ❤️❤️

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

It certainly is.👍

[@panelvanman7671]

oooh wow i totally forgot about Wilpena Pound been there many times

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Beautiful spot to visit, we love the gorges.

[@bibinms4436]

[@bill13690]

Thanks for the video there, Mick and Sally. I hope that you have had a wonderful trip. And yes I must say I'll have a look at Corn myself and the steam train stuff as well. Thank you for sharing with us. Safe traveling and please look after yourselves. From Bill. Mount Gambier, South Australia.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you Bill, enjoy your time when you go there.

[@bill13690]

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837i certainly will do.

[@helenverrall2892]

Great video, brought back many happy memories from our teenage years on our first coming trips together. Keep your great videos coming.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Nice to hear you are enjoying the videos, gives me something to do of an evening.👍

[@roberthocking9138]

The founder rangers area is no doubt one of the best in AUS. Great video Mick

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Beautiful spot to visit with it's changing colours as the day moves through the different stages of light.

[@panelvanman7671]

im slightly biased towards SA , spent my childhood camping and waking up in the flinders ranges , back then it was so quiet and solitary , maybe it still is ? the light seemed to be more vibrant and full of colour as the sun came up , lol might also have been my young eyes

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

It still is such a beautiful location to visit with the ever changing light as the day changes from morning to afternoon.

[@leojones354]

Great video Mick we had a great 4days at Rawnsley park last year in the Bush camp and walked the length of the camp ground you are probably right it must be 2km or more😊

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Rawnsley was a great spot for us and it was at an acceptable cost as well.

[@jen7934]

Thankyou Mick and Sally for posting these videos of your trips. We enjoy them so much! Wondering how you keep your car and caravan so clean! Always looks great guys ……Norm and Jen 🇦🇺⭐️⭐️

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Hi Norm & Jen, you might be surprised how dirty the caravan and car are at the moment. The camera has a way of hiding some things, dirty vehicles is one things that it is good at.😃 Nice to hear you are enjoying the videos, thanks.

[@deanredden1857]

Great video Mick, I started school at Quorn Area School & my younger brother was born there. My father was the policeman there in the early 70’s. I don’t know the size of the unpowered bush camping area at Rawnsley Park Station but I as a child camped there many times & still continue now. All the best in your future travels.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Quorn hasn't changed very much over the years other than becoming a tourist destination. As a kid, I spent many nights there with my grand parents back in the 60's.

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

😊

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

🙂

[@j-dawg4015]

Can I ask what the 2 aerials on the car are for?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We run with two UHF radios. It is something that wasn"t planned, just how it all worked out.
