  • Flinders Ranges and Outback South Australia July 2014
    Outback SA and Back Home July 2014 This report on the third stage of the trip covers some areas in the outback of SA, including Cullyamurra Waterhole, the Strzelecki, the Flinders Ranges and back home in the Barossa Valley. The main features of the trip were of course the wonderful, vast outback with its compelling beauty. We were surprised at the extent of the drought in far Western Queensland and now more fully appreciate the plight of the graziers. Carrying water is such a priority out here as you must be self sufficient. Where we had been able to get clean bore water at Innamincka on our trip in 2012, the only water available this time was untreated river water – which is a milky solution of mud and water. Luckily we had full tanks from somewhere to the East. Burke’s Dig Tree Special points of interest: Camping on The Cooper Coongie Lakes The Flinders Ranges Of Blue Skies and Cold Nights Paddabilla Bore had been a peaceful and relaxing couple of days but it was time to get moving again. With our washing all up to date and our floors swept and washed at the Bore, we set out fairly early for the next night’s camp. We had been told in advance that the caravan park at Thargomindah would be busy with a group who were staying there while attending a native title handing over ceremony (or something similar) and so we knew a crowded caravan park would not suit us. While in the area previously we had looked at some nice camping spots on Lake Bindegolly, East of Thargomindah, and so we pulled the van in to have a look.
