RV TRAVEL
Driving the Bunyeroo 4WD loop was a highlight . The track provided a generous mix of nature and history . Starting and finishing by the homestead , the loop runs for 23km around the station , taking in the cemetery and old township ruins , including a hotel that operated between 1863 and 1886 . Further along the loop , we passed through saltbush paddocks towards the stunning ranges , and got to drive through a tight cutting along a creek bed . The station ’ s eastern fenceline also borders the Flinders Ranges National Park , and a gate between the two allowed us to stretch our legs and explore the gorge .
Back in the vehicle , the loop continued parallel to the river gum-lined Bunyeroo Creek for some kilometres before reaching the ruins at Brachina . The track finally passed through a couple of gates as the track headed back to the homestead .
Camping at Edeowie is nothing short of spectacular ! Shady designated bush campsites with firewood are positioned so that you take in those breathtaking Elder Range views . Each site provides a good level of seclusion as well and amenities are located nearby .
Other accommodation options include the historic shearer ’ s quarters , Edeowie House and the restored Old Brachina Hut . As our visit was coming to an end , we made one last stop at Edeowie ’ s original wool shed . This building is a work of art for its era and is now more than 150 years old .
Merna Mora ’ s lime kilns played an important role in Ghan railway history .
