back a little earlier than planned - see the details on my post in 'keeping the suspension up'

Flinders were a dream - weather was perfect.
Stayed at Burra on the way and then at Rawnsley Park for 3 nights. Great accommodation and very central.
Did the Bunyaroo Valley and Brachina Gorge - spectacular. spent 8 hours on Skytreck (on Willow ck station) which was the highlight of this trip. Apparently there are even better day and half day self drives on private property up there which we'll investigate next trip.
Whatever you do - wherever you go - its all fantastic.
just get out and do it.

to answer dukemasterpro questions
1/ we live near the Vic/Nsw border we allowed 2 days travel each way (fullish days but doable without undue stress on the Bride)
we allowed 8-9 days as time was limited - but had to return home early after just 5 days - overall 7 days. Yes it was a bit short but still worth the trip 10-11 would be great.
2/weather was picture perfect - coolish nights and warm, not hot days mostly with cool breeze
3/you don't need ANY tagalong tours
4/we stayed entirely in powerd caravan park type accommodation - even the private stations now have this facility. Rawnsley Park was great - but you've left your run too late for Easter so as suggested Google and contact some of the stations and see what is still available. Try Willow Ck Station - lots of flush loo's and brand new big camp kitchen. Don't wait till you get there!

Very excited to be actually doing the trip this year, camper trailer booked so much easier to do the 1 night stops on the way. Willow Ck for 2 nights then Rawnsley for 5 and plan to do "day trips" from each location and some walking / bike riding to avoid piling on the road trip induced kg's.
