Mate, Mount Chambers Gorge is a fantastic remote camp you should put on your list. It's off the road from Yunta to Arkaroola and your bike would get there. Well worth a look. PS, since we're talkin Chambers, have you done Chambers Pillar near the Finke race course?

You have certainly covered some ground this year Steve. I was there is July 21 and there was plenty of water in those gorges. I would not have aired up for those tracks. That is an old timers theory to protect the sidewalls but with modern tyres its better to have low pressures. You need to spend some time in the Vic high country to get used to steep rocky tracks but I agree the scenery in the Flinders is spectacular. Victorian Alps are not far behind though. Thanks for the video.

Great video of a fantastic area. Brought back some great memories when I did a tour into and around the Flinders in the early 1990s in an old Landcruiser with a couple of travelling companions. We had the place pretty much to ourselves back then. I guess now it's a lot more controlled and a bit of a popular honey trap. You are looking very trim these days Steve. You training for an Ironman?

Trim??? Probably a throwback to livin' like a dog on the bike...eating can tuna and not being able to go to the fridge all day, every day lol. I do cycle 20km most days when I'm home just to try and maintain some standard of fitness. Maybe it's the camera angles. Either way, I'll take it as a compliment. 😀
