The Flinders is a bit hot, dry, dusty and fly-ridden at this time of year - you will probably have more fun on on YP, although you'll get your fair share of flies there, too. Still, you can drop in to Warooka and see Aussichef for lunch if you decide to head that way!

Cheers

spin a bottle to see which direction you start off in and just go with the flow, keep a lookout for pic opportunities and be prepared to stop often.

you will get some great shots 8)

I have just done a run thru the Fleurieu peninsula and there is some exceptional spots down there currently with the good sun we have been getting. Port Willinga, Aldinga, Myponga beach, Normanville, Second valley, Rapid bay, Jervis, A little beach this side of Jervis, deep creek etc etc.

Otherwise Yorkes is my next pick, Flinders to dusty dry currently..
