Flinders Ranges road and tracks update

We just got back from a three day photo shoot in the Flinders Ranges and whilst not covering every track or road a couple of things stand out for those preparing to travel there over Easter etc

Overall the floods have done plenty of damage but the positives are that the road crews have been working frantically to tidy things up to get the main roads drivable and safe. But you need to be aware that the crews are working all over the place so please slow down as you past and keep the dust down.

Private tracks need to be checked with each property to be sure.

What to some of the dirt roads look like? Well picture several grids fully exposed and well above the current ground level. This was a road! All the sub base had been washed away for kilometres. Darned amazing and a warning of the force of a flood.

Dust. Plenty of it due to the silt that has been washed down and over the roads and tracks.

Weather. Last three days were very humid and in the low 30C

Above anything else the place is looking green with new growth showing on trees that a couple of months ago everyone was worried were going to be lost due to the drought. But many have succumbed to the flood so creek lines are strewn with huge old gums torn from the ground. Truly sad and spectacular at the same time.

Is it worth going? Of course!
