Stokes Hill provides many different views – all, splendid – in literally every direction.
When rapidly moving clouds scatter across an otherwise intensely-blue winter’s sky, even someone who looked in only one direction would still enjoy a constantly-changing vista.
This is most spectacularly true during daylight’s first or final two hours.
i took this post’s photo at 3.36 pm, shortly after we had reached the top of Stokes Hill.
Stokes Hill (circa 737-739 metres ASL) is circa 450 kilometres north of Adelaide, and less than 20 ks northeast of Wilpena.
The drive up to the lookout is steep, but not treacherous; competent drivers of 2WD vehicles should find it doable, provided their vehicles are not towing anything.
