Moonarie - best time and logistics 19-Mar-2010 At 10:27:29 AM telephunk

Some Canberra crew trying to plan a trip to Moonarie this year, wondering what the consensus is on the best time to go. Is it too cold in the middle of winter, better to go late autumn, or early spring? we don't mind the cold, but not really sure how cold it stays through the day in the middle of winter, or if there's other issues to consider (does it rain up there?).

Also wondering on logistics. Thinking we might fly to adelaide then rent a car, or fly again to port augusta and rent a car there, or maybe get dropped off. Are there likely to be any tour guide/operators that would do a drop off and pick up service, any local operators that might do something like that? Doesn't seem like much point renting a car when we only need it to get to the camp site and back to port augusta (assuming we fly up there).

any thoughts appreciated. cheers.
