holiday through the flinders ranges in south australia
these photos were in late spring, temperature around 38c or 101F... KJ didn't even come once close to overheating, even with air on!

a bit of dry creek bed driving


Image
after about two hours hard climbing... 722 mtrs or 2369 ft above sea level


Image
more climbing, more climbing until...


Image
Image
Image
...we hit the summit of the skytrek drive @ 3025ft


Image
back down we go...


Image
climbed up, along & down the ranges... a 26 mile round trip took over 6.5 hrs to complete

Bad links. I think you need to be a member and signed on to see the images. Try hosting them elsewhere, perhaps Photobucket or similar.

Really like the pictures. Reminds me of my Air Force days and flying over the country. By the way I really had a great time while I was at Amberly and at Townsville.

it's unusually dry this year... currently going through a drought & have water restrictions.
normally in late spring it would be covered with wild flowers.

very hard on tyres (tires!?!) luckily didn't get any punctures or serious tyre damage. only a couple of small chucks cut from the tread blocks...
need a lift, the front skid is well used...lol

thanks all
