Day 11 and our last day in the Flinders Ranges as tomorrow we start to head home, but today we headed up towards Parachilna on the main road and came across some Wedge-tail eagles that were dinning on road kill Rob being Rob had to stop and take some photos, after this went for a little 4 x 4 adventure along the Geological track and then along the Brachina Gorge Road, then back up Blinman and across to Parachilna, the first part of the road was full of corrugations and my teeth are still chattering, but the trip was fantastic like a travel back in time you really gain an appreciation of how old the land is, Rob has decided to take up a new hobby Palaeontology, and was looking around to see if she could find some fossils (no not me!).
Considering this area is very dry there was water running through the creeks that ran through the gorges, these creeks contain frogs, YES frogs in the Flinders Ranges
Guess what we saw, some more emu’s.
At last we made it to the Parachilna Pub we were a bit late for lunch so I could not have my Road Kill, but we did have afternoon tea and David and I had the Feral antipasto, what did it taste like, mmmmmmmmm you will have to go there and try it for yourself.
And last but not least we managed to get a recording from the Seismograph at the local service station for the 4.1 magnitude earthquake that hit near Peterborough on the 5/09/11.
This is the last blog from this trip but stay tuned for our next big adventure.
