I would agree with that, It is one of the least appealing campgrounds I have ever seen!

However, there is 300Ha of bush camping (no power) along the creek, a little further away from the ammenity blocks, but at least you can have a fire (provided on the season) and you are away from others.

X1000 the main CP at Arkaroola is on a hill and you will get blow off it. Go over the back into the hollow and it is much warmer at night as well

Kev

Love your photos!

What size lens and software did you use to create the panorama shots? :cup:

Thanks Allen,
I totally loved the place and we were lucky that when we were there that there wasn't much moisture in the air which gave us the iridescent colours in the sky. Believe it or not it was shot with a Fuji Fine Pix ( around the $200 mark ) with a lens converter ( $$$ ??? ) which gave me a wider angle.
I now shoot with a Canon 7 and 5d with several Canon L series len's- so I am really hoping to there soon again to use my new gear.

we did both, when we did Arkaroola unfortunately it rained :( had an interesting time getting out, but was so spectacular we will be back to see what we missed.

our favourite place of all the flinders rangers was Grindells Hut, next time we go out there we are going to hire the hut.

the stars there are totally awesome.....

We hope you enjoy your time at Arkaroola, like us 2 days will not be enough and you will want to return
