Bush Walking 2007

Last weekend we made our way up to the Flinders Ranges, some 5 hours drive north of Adelaide. We based our stay in a quaint little town, Quorn - home of the Pichi Richi railway, at the local backpackers.

I must say it's very green up that way, much more than I would have expected. In the last month or so the rain they've had has quickly transformed the area. If I compare it to my last trip to Rawnsley's Bluff a few years ago, which was post-winter, I'd have to say it's much greener now.

So we visited quite a few places up that way, taking in some beautiful sights such as Alligator Gorge (picture above), and Hancocks Lookout (picture below). The camera spent more time out of the backpack than in - and now I have a couple of full CF cards to weed through for the gems :-)

I just love the Australian countryside - it's one of the reasons I haven't moved overseas permanently.
