We experienced the Flinders Range of Arkaroola on a 5 hour, 4WD excursion. We jostled and tossed in the back of an open-air Toyota Ute. This vehicle was a climbing machine. It tackled the steep and rocky roads, dry creek beds, and river crossings with ease. We climbed three peaks that offered a real geological buffet and eye candy of natural wonders. Fab views from the top of SA's highest peaks.
Currently Arkaroola is under threat of mining exploration for uranium. This land is a most unlikely a fast buck because of it's remoteness and inaccessibility so no one seemed to worried.
Folks here mention the word "water" like a ghost of the past. After years of torturous drought this year was green with wildflowers and wildlife was making a booming comeback. A first bit of greenery in 50 years locals say.
