As well as the 3 Full Day Guided 4wd Tours that are on offer, there are also 6 Self Drives that you can do which are:
1) Sunrise Drive to Razorback LookoutThis one will have people getting up early to go watch the sunrise over that iconic Flinders Ranges photo spot.
People will need to depart at 5.45am and is a 40min drive, but well worth the experience!
2) Arkaroo Rock/Cazneaux Tree/Sacred CanyonThis one combines some Aboriginal Rock Art as well as the famous Cazneaux Tree and takes about 3 hours all up. You can also add in the 'Welcome to Country' at Wilpena if you time it right by leaving Rawnsley at approx 2pm!
3) Moralana Scenic Drive inc Bunyeroo ValleySome stunning scenery on this drive which will also take about 3 hours. An absolute must do when visiting the Flinders!
4) Visiting Blinman*Blinman is a 45min drive north of Rawnsley.
When there you can take in a historic walk around the township, have lunch at the iconic pub, then go on an underground mine tour.
There is also the option of travelling a further 20mins to Angorichina Station and doing the Blinman Pools Walk which is a 12km return hike.
5) Arkapena 4wd Track*This is Rawnsley's own self drive off road track which starts pretty much at the homestead and costs $50pv and will take about 4.5hrs
6) Appealina Ruins/Stokes Hill Lookout/ Hucks Lookout/Rawnsley Lookout*Wonderful history and inspiring views!
