We towed our caravan through part of the Flinders Ranges while driving from Port Augusta to Peterborough in South Australia. The road is quite good but can be very steep with hairpin bends, so take your time. This is only a very small part of the Flinders Ranges and we hope to have more time to explore this ancient landscape on our next adventure.
