We Leave the Strzleci Track and turn into Mt Hopeless road and head the 180km into Arkaroola Village and spend two nights and days exploring the 150km of tracks including the Eco Backtrack.
there was enough to see and do and I'm glad I did it, however I wouldn't return as the infrastructure namely the ammenities are very old and the prices are very expensive. $195.00 to drive in the back of a ute to sillers lookout is not going to attract a lot of clients. I think it's great the Sprigg family has for over 50 years turned Arkaroola into a nature sanctuary.
The mechanic in Copely is amazing and we were blown away by the modern day ghost town of Leigh Creek, we returned to Leigh Creek after completed the Flinders Ranges and headed North to the Oodnadatta Track. we love leigh creek and would stop in there again.
Beltana is a little Gem, I never heard of the town previously, so hopefully the news willl spread now.
Parachilna is a great place to stop for a break, it's right on the highway, the Praire Hotel is a great place for a stop although families will find it expensive.
The drive from Parachilna to Blinman is an easy dirt road that takes about 40 minutes to travel the 32km.
