Training at Bendleby Ranges

Between shots for the channel nine Postcards’ Bendleby Ranges story to be viewed next year some time, sound man David McDonald gives Bendleby’s four wheel drive training track a whirl. While it is a four wheel drive training track it, when not in use, doubles as a great mountain bike short-course for all ages.

Dueler D694 Light Truck Documentary

Join David Wilson from Adventure 4WD on a 3 day trek through the Flinders Ranges to test the new Dueler D694 light truck tyre in rugged terrain. David gives some great off road driving tips for various challenges you may encounter in the Australian outback. This video, though clearly an advertisement, shows some great footage of Warren and Jane Luckraft’s Bendleby Ranges and their Ridgetop Track, which I drove just the other day and I can say that it is every bit as good as it looks in this video!

Wilcolo Track

The Wilcolo Track in Flinders Ranges National Park would have to be one of the best ‘value for effort’ walks in the Flinders. The 9.2km circuit is listed as a five hour walk on the National Park website, but we found it quite an easy walk (2.5 hours) with plenty of photo stops along the way. Great variety of scenery – the peaks of Wilpena, pine covered valleys, looking back over the Bunyeroo Razorback & a little bit of spring water along Bunyeroo Creek. My Rating 9.5/10 SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Wilcolo Track",... MORE

Walking the Flinders Ranges

Tony Smith, of Rawnsley Park, has performed above and beyond the call of duty. Besides taking this photo of yours truly, he recently spent three days on different trails with me, looking at trails for a possible third guide to SA walks (myself being the author of WalkSA volumes 1 and 2). Dear Tony (poor bugger) and I did the Wilcolo Hike (9.2km) on the first morning and then followed it up with a 35km mountain bike ride back to Rawnsley from the Bunyeroo Valley. The next morning we walked the last leg of the Heysen Trail (17km) from the... MORE
