Artimore to Yanyanna
Patawarta Gap offers views over Narrina Station to the north and Blinman to the south. We have time to explore here – perhaps a forward return trip to Wilpena or a look up Old Blinman Road. A diversion down Brachina Gorge is also possible (16km round trip).
A small detour to Aroon Ruins has some nice views

Yanyanna to Wirrabara
Wilpena Pound is a fancy resort with some nice countryside around it. There’s a breakout section as we head south along Telegraph Track. Hawker is the home of the Jeff Morgan Gallery with some fantastic artwork of the country we’ve just traveled through and The bridle track offers some great views to end off the day.
Jeff Morgan rides his Africa Twin around the Flinders to discover new scenes to paint. |

wirrabara to adelaide
The last day still has some good tracks and ends informally at Lower Hermitage with plenty of time to select a pub between now and then.
We take a day off in Adelaide before heading south to Kangaroo Island. Maybe some fresh tyres and wash the bike and gear. |
