Arkaroola

I wasn't sure what to expect at Arkaroola, but it has turned out to be sensational. 

The setting is amazing hills with a very nice and very isolated campground. 

On the internet I had read about the famous ridge tour, and I forked over what I though was quite a lot of money for a 4wd drive through the hills. 

It was worth every penny. The track is extreme, and the views are unbelievable. Through a stroke of good luck, I ended up getting the passenger seat in the front of the ute. All the others were squashed sitting sideways in the back of the ute. 

I don't know if the pics show how good it was, but I rate it close to the best off road experiences ever 

The pic above shows our final destination  for the ultimate spectacular view 

In the evening they offer a session in their astronomical observatory. So I signed up for it. For such a remote place, they have some interesting things to do. 

I also bought a biography of the founder of Arkaroola. His name somehow reminded me of the Goons. Reginald Spriggs. He was one of Australia's most important geologists.
