Should of asked:
How far north of Adelaide? Just past Gepps Cross/south of Elizabeth?
How far are you prepared to travel/overnight stay etc?
All affects your options.

Where the hell did you dig that List from??? Bloody ripper

The back door mate.. Remember where I live. That is why most is only 2 1/2 hrs away. Ok Beltana is a bit further.

Add:
There are more but hard to keep track of. Eg, Beltana Station has a track or two and also forgot Skytrek, and a few down Wilpena Pound way.

Yea, I do miss that country.
One minute your driving in lush green scrub, then next it desert...
