  • Some help needed for SA trip

    Hey All,

    My wife and I are taking a trip to Adelaide in May/June this year and have accomodation in Adelaide for 6 nights. We will be driving from Sydney in our Prado and thougt if we could fit in a day trip or 2 of 4wding we would. We already have accomodation that we can't change, so unfortunately that means we are limited to day trips from Adelaide.

    We are also not hugely experienced in 4wd so nothing too serious. If anyone could offer some advice, that would be greately appreciated. Maybe the name of a good tag along tour company out of Adelaide as well. I would love to do something in the Flinders Rangers but not sure if thats in day trip teritory.

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Paul and Natalie

      Flinders Ranges are about 3 hours from Adelaide (lower Flinders around Mt Remarkable) - I have done a day trip there from Adelaide in the past but it was a long day. The main part of the Flinders starting at Wilpena Pound is more like 5 hours, so a bit too far.

      Maybe somewhere in the Mallee?

          Hey everyone,

          Thanks for all the replies so far. Seems like there isn't a huge amount around apart from private traks.

          How about the Goyder trail? We love the Claire Valley stopped their after driving from Perth many years ago and visiting Margaret River wine region. Sorry to all those that love Margaret River wines but the best ones their were from a place that made fruit wines. Anyway hitting the Claire Valley was like finding wine heaven, sooo much nicer wines, but I digress.

          Once again thanks for your help everyone.

            Hey All,

            I haven't gotten any more replies. Is this all of the suggestions, does anybody have any more?
            Yo no soy un pajero suggests the Mallee, can you give some suggestions for that are, how long will it take to get there from Adelaide?

            If we were to go to the southurn Flinders Ranges, where sholuld we go for a good drive?

            Thanks again
            Paul

              Paul - if you don't have it already, download the fantastic Wikicamps app and browse the maps. Its more about camping sites than driving routes but people often give details on the roads and tracks. I find its a great resource for finding out about places you didn't know existed.
              cheers

                Mallee, Ngarkat national park. Sandy tracks, nothing too challenging and bush views. Drive to Tintinara and then turn left about 5-8kms out onto Snoswells Road. Enter bottom left of Ngarkat. Follow main track up to top of park, visit Mt Rescue, come out top onto Mallee Hwy and back to town. A full day drive. 220kms to Ngarkat from City (2.5 hours).

                Goolwa beach, (1 hour drive from ADL) Drive 13kms along the beach from Goolwa to the Murray mouth (Murray river sea exit). Easy drive, sometimes soft but nothing too bad. You could make this into a day trip.
                Drive from ADL to Normanville (Via Myponga Dam) Visit: Myponga Beach / Dam. Normanville/Yankallila. Then along coast to Second Valley/Rapid Bay (Both worth a visit) Then take Yoho road just after the Delamere shop down to the Wind Farm.Come back and turn towards Cape Jervis (Bennet Road off Yoho) Theres a few tracks around Cape Jervis one taking you to a nice beach you can drive onto. (Sometimes tricky entry track). Unnamed entry track but its to the right on the left hand bend on the long main straight road into Cape Jervis. Stay Left for beach on the track and right for lookout over Yorke peninsula and Kangaroo island.
                Drive down into Cape Jervis for a look.
                Then take Range Road West (Dirt/Sealed) and do Blowhole beach and deep creek tracks (Basic 4wd stuff 4/10) but awesome views and bushwalking.
                Head back up Tappananappa Rd, back onto Range Rd all the way into Victor Harbour, Maybe Check out Waitpinga Beach.
                Look around Victor (Walk out to Granite Island or climb the Bluff) Then road trip down to Goolwa and do the beach (20 KMS). Goolwa back to Adelaide or back thru Strathalbyn/meadows etc. Or if you want dirt theres back roads thru Kuitpo/prospect hill area.
                That would easily fill a full day and is a good run.

                Coorong, Drive up around Lake Alexandrina. Down through Meningie,(1.75 hour drive from ADL to Salt Creek) Theres a few tracks just past Salt Creek at 40 Mile crossing that take you out onto the beach. Can be challenging, needs tyres dropped.
                Offers access to the Coorong, and literally a hundred plus kilometres of beach, all the way back to the Murray mouth and up to Kingston. Granites are worth driving to and theres a beach entry/exit there. Good views around Coorong/ bird life etc. Another long day run.
