I was talking to one of the rep's at ARB when she mentioned this place. Has anyone been there before?
Apparently it's about 45 mins away from Adelaide, near Callington.

When the dust settles on the GTG, it might be an option for another meet up for the SA folk.

A few friends went up there about a fortnight ago. Very muddy and a few deep creek crossings. They had a ball!

Going by the pics - yes. I'd definitely be up for a run there even before the GTG. It's about 10 mins from my place.
Would be fantastic given all the rain we've had!

Yeah, Pretty lax. I should know my backyard better. I do know of a couple of fun spots a bit further on for those who like it muddy. Could do both Jakem and the others over a weekend - save washing the Prado twice
Cheers, Ben.

Here's a bit of video from a few weeks back when we went to Jakem Farm. Unfortunately the kids did most of the filming which is why it looks like kids filmed it. Any way this is just a small example of the terrain on offer. It's a top spot and reasonably priced too. $30/car/day, camping free or $10/car/night for the premo campground near the billabong. It is getting quite chopped up in the muddy tracks as you can see. I probably spent about 3 hrs winching myself and my mate over the weekend and I didnt have a go at the biggest mud holes either. A good family friendly place close to home for a weekend of 4wding and camping where you feel like you could be miles from home.
