Count us in next time but we are off to the Flinders Meetup this weekend. Trying to find free 4x4 around Adelaide is challenging, so will be interest in reading your assessment when we get back.

Thanks for the link will check it out.

Here's another link. The quarry is about 1 km south of Oval Road. I usually go into it from the Blanchetown road.

you up for a daytrip this weekend! i havent been there before!!

 

[Poolman84]

Sunday 7/6 10.30 am at the ferry, see you there ch. 25

 

[millsy]

Don't forget the camera! We want a trip report! We couldn't join in the fun, so I hope we at least get a few pics. There are some tough climbs in there, especially at the northern end. Well, too tough for me anyway. Maybe you can do it!

Thanks, Millsy.

 

[Poolman84]

i hope its worth the trip! will take camera, hopefully video too! if we travel from ferry do you know best route to quarry?

 

[millsy]

This is the way I would go from the ferry;

from:Unknown street to:Unknown street to:Morgan Renmark Rd to:-34.053371,139.658718 - Google Maps

C is about 150 to 200 metres after the last house on the edge of town. Zoom in on the map to see the tracks to take you across to the main section of the quarry from point D. As I said, there are some pretty good challenges, but you will need to look for them. I think they are a bit to the north of the large central section that shows up clearly on this satellite photo. There should be a few other people around to ask.

Have fun and stay safe! Cheers, Millsy.
