RV TRAVEL

FAST FACTS

GETTING TO ARKAROOLA
The Mount Freeling Track branches off the Strzelecki Track about 85km out of Lyndhurst in remote South Australia . An isolated and rough station track leads you through the beautiful northern Flinders . This is very remote country where you probably won ’ t see another vehicle across the whole track .
Ending at Arkaroola , there are plenty of outstation ruins and more remote 4WD tracks to explore , not to mention the stunning colours for which the Flinders is known .
WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Explore ancient gorges with your 4WD , camp in remote places and stargaze , find the many station ruins and cast your mind back to how hard life would have been . Walk around old mine sites or take a tour from Arkaroola .
Mount Freeling offers camping and its own station stay in the old shearers ’ quarters , but in Arkaroola you ’ ll find some of the best camping in the northern Flinders .
ESSENTIALS
A well-kitted-out 4WD is important . There ’ s no fuel for several hundred kilometres between Lyndhurst and Arkaroola and no phone signal .
The trip can be done in one day , but allow several days to explore the many tracks and features of Arkaroola , the drive to Lake Frome and the northern Flinders .
