Try Peak, about an hour out of Tailem Bend. Was $10/car when I last went there 3 years ago, awesome sand hills on private property. Also allow camping and fires. Need to book in advance.
Not sure if Morgan quarry is still active, last I heard the council fenced it off. That had good rock climbs and ruts.SOLD 2004 NP 3.2 auto

SA= the fenced of state. Very few places to go unfortunately.
Peake is fantastic. Is now 15 per day includes camping for the night. Very hard to get a weekend as car clubs and bike clubs book it out well in advance. I have a couple of days booked in the school holidays if you or anyone else is interested pm me.
Morgan quarry has been closed for 12 months due some moron suing the council. You can still get access if you are in a 4wd club and I have a application in with council at the moment.
Last time I was down deep creek late last year the tracks down to the beach were closed. Not sure if they still are.
Places to go are pretty guarded for fear of them being closed in south Aussie.

Morgan Quarry is open on a restricted basis through 4wd clubs only.
Saunders Gorge is a pay & drive on private tracks about an hour from Adelaide.
The Bridle Track is a free track near Port Pirie that runs through to Melrose.
Coorong, just south of Salt Creek, is Tea Tree and 42 mile crossing great fishing spot and some beach and dune tracks, another 2 hours south is Robe
A few of the Adelaide Forum guys are of to Moonta for a meet & greet 4wd day trip soon which is open to all forum members.
Best option is to look at joining a 4wd club if you are a novice, they offer training and someone to help when you get stuck.

You could try enquiring through ForestrySA about access to the many Forest reserves in SA - I am sure there would be some great tracks in amongst them. Check the 4WDSA website as well.01 NM Exceed 3.5l Auto, SVI LPG, Pacemakers, Alloy Bar, IPF lights, GME TX3440, OME/King Suspension, 2" Lift, Toyo OCII 75's, 2500Kg Tow Hitch, Milford Cargo Barrier, ARB Fridge, ABR Dual Battery isolator, Rear storage drawers, Hema Navigator 7, JVC 7" In dash DVD, TJM Compressor, 2.5T Hand winch and all the bits that go with it, and a 17' Jayco Westport.
