or the fi rst leg of your epic journey

along the rugged SA coast, travel

from Balaklava, around 90km north

of Adelaide, up to Port Augusta and

stop in at the Wadlata Outback Centre. This

place is full of Australian history and the

whole family will love it.

From there, your fi rst nights camp is in

Munyaroo Conservation Park on the east coast

of the Eyre Peninsular. Here you’ll fi nd steep

rutted out hills, plenty of native wildlife and

a wet clay pan that will test your driving and

recovery skills. If you take the right track instead

of the left it leads you around the boundary of

the National Park and straight into the mud.

Make sure you’ve got your recovery gear ready

as it’s likely you’ll need it.

This park is a beautiful spot for 4WDers who

are traveling the Eyre Peninsular with your

choice of beach and bush campgrounds. There

is excellent salmon fi shing all along the Eyre

Peninsular and Munyaroo Conservation Park is

no exception. There are no facilities at any of the

campgrounds but that means you can experience

this perfect area the way it should be.

Your next stop is Lincoln National Park

where you’ll fi nd shaded campsites just ten

metres from the water at Spalding Cove

Campground. To enter the National Park you

are required to have a National Parks pass and

camping fees apply. There is cracking 4WDing

terrains to drive, from rock to sand dunes. Take

to experience the local history and enjoy some

sightseeing on a fantastic track. Lower your
