Flinders Ranges by 4wd - G'day, mates! Buckle up as we embark on another thrilling adventure in this episode, set in the striking Flinders Ranges of South Australia. This time we are exploring the lesser-known stations, their challenging 4wd tracks, and sharing reviews of the satellite communicators we used on this trip.
Our destination in Part one is the Horseshoe Top End Station, often referred to as the mini Wilpena Pound, due to its stunning natural amphitheatre. Steeped in a rich history and offering plenty of off-road trails to navigate, this station provides an immersive outback experience. Our journey takes us through rocky terrain, winding river beds, and unspoilt wilderness that will make any 4wd enthusiast's heart race.
We round off our day by setting up camp at the Top Of the World Campsite, aptly named for the mesmerising panoramic views it offers. Nestled high in the hills, this campsite provides a remarkable vantage point to soak in the beauty of the Flinders Ranges. Don't miss the magical transformation of the landscape at sunset, when the golden sunrays hit the ochre ridges and the sky paints a symphony of colours.
As part of this expedition, I've also tested two highly-rated 2-way Satellite Communicators - the Zoleo and the Garmin InReach Mini 2. Being in remote areas makes reliable communication essential, and these gadgets promise just that. From ease of use to signal strength, battery life, and emergency features, I examine all the key factors to give you a balanced review and my personal favourite
So, whether you're planning your own escapade into the outback, or just fancy a virtual journey from the comfort of your couch, this episode is sure to give you some lesser known travel destinations.
