  • We are back off-road in the outback of South Australia! Earlier this year we had to skip the Flinders Ranges due to some mechanical issues with our van, but we knew we wanted to head back. Doing so meant a 3,000 detour out of our way. Was it worth it?
    Watch this video to see why the Flinders Ranges is one of our favourite places on our whole lap of Australia!

    I spent 8 days at Rawnsley Park back in March and did all my adventures from there, it was a 3000km trip for me too. So so worth it, so much to experience. Can’t even find words to describe the landscape, but most of all the feeling of just being there. Vast, ancient, silent. Will never forget it😍. You showed it so beautifully, thanks 🙏

    One of the best videos on flinders ranges. I was in flinders ranges for two days and this video makes me realise I need to go back and do it properly. There’s a lot more to see than I realised. Thankd

    Doesn't matter where you are, Flinders is _always_ worth the detour. Such a *fantastic* and *beautiful* place. We might be a bit biased though being South Australian's 🤣😂

    I'm not going to comment on all your vids ha but OMG I lived/worked here for 3mths! I was so surprised how much I fell in love with the area 🧡 It was so great to see where I'd visited through such great videography! I actually have a funny story leaving Blinman on a different route one time to lee creek for some supplies in my subie as I fondly call her (old subaru) and I didn't know it but it was a 4x4 track on the Bunyaroo gorge rd, driving through mostly dry creek beds (thank goodness) but some with low water. What an awesome exhilarating trip on my own! and the old girl nailed it...what a time, so beautiful! Thanks for capturing it's magic so perfectly 🥰
