Argadells - Flinders Ranges
October 2006

Argadells in a station approx 30km's out the back of Quorn in the southern Flinders Ranges.  It has been opened up to the public for a few years now but the word is still getting out.
The driving is great and considering that we had never been there before, we thought it would be a great first trip for Greg and Mel who had bought their first 4wd (the white jeep).

The petrol Jeep has no raised suspension and road tyres so it was going to be interesting to see how it went.  With careful driving and not rushing our trip (why would you rush and miss out on the scenery!) the car survived with no damage.
Our diesel patrol and the diesel 4.2 litre landcruiser also survived.

The driving is not as tough as Warraweena but it is a great spot to go as it's close to Adelaide and gives you a great taste of what the Flinders has to offer.  Camping facilities are basic (drop toilet) and minimal firewood.  We had to collect most ourselves but I think the wood was supposed to be provided at the campsite.

There had been recent rain which made the place very green.  This is the greenest I have ever seen the Flinders as you can see by the campsite photo below.
