Have you experienced the Flinders Ranges? Camping at Rawnsley Park Station, you’ll have those views to die for at this historic sheep station in the bucket list region of South Australia. A big thank you to John and Sue Shipard for sharing your photos. We met them on their way here, via a paddleboat cruise on the Murray River. Rawnsley Park Station has been catering to tourists for more than half a century! However, it was settled in 1851 – part of Arkaba Station, and traditional lands of Adnyamathanha people. It looks over the southern side of South Australia’s Flinders

Camping

On the Murray at Murtho Forest Landing

Located 10 minutes from Paringa, this camping spot offers shade and great camping on the banks of the Murray River. There is a beautiful lookout close by and also a lot of decent fishing spots along the banks where campers are known to catch Callop, Carp, Yabbies and Golden Perch. If you go walk about you will most likely see a variety of wildlife such as pelicans, wrens, kangaroos and rosellas. In the warmer months you might even come across a snake, so keep an eye out to make sure you don’t get an unpleasant surprise. Don’t miss the lookout

Beaches & Coasts

Feed the family from free camp, Red Cliff Beach, South Australia

Red Cliff Beach in SA, just 13 km south of Tumby Bay is pet friendly, with mobile coverage and a zero price and zero facilities. But you are rewarded with priceless views and abundant fishing! Fishing is best here at high tide off the points, and in the inlet. Said CAMPS Ambassador, Manda, “Daniel went fishing with a friend in his boat and they caught enough King George Whiting and squid to feed the family every lunch and dinner. Others were fishing off the rocks and spearfishing, both were also successful!” The southern end of Red Cliff is a beachfront camping area.
