Yes it is at Arkaroola, but I asked for the name & Sillers Lookout it is. No it’s not actually on the Skytrek (self drive 4wd route) but is on the accompanied 4wd ridge top tour. It was made famous in a TV commercial for a car ....... but for the life of me I can’t find a reference anywhere to what car it was. Does anyone know? Going up there in the back of a 4wd ute (a T*yota iirc) with a dozen passengers was pretty impressive. Virtually no revs & I was hanging over the side watching the wheels, & just the occasional half a revolution wheelspin.
So who should go next? Rossco for Arkaroola or TPC for Sillers Lookout, both correct, although TPC is a bit more accurate. I’ll let you decide whether you’ll be gentlemen or engage in virtual fisticuffs for the honour .......... The next pic put up will no doubt reveal to us all the outcome of whichever process you adopt! Ha Ha.
