Flinders Ranges Area

Today was a day for touring the local area.  We started at Yanyanna Hut which is one of the walker's huts on the Heysen Trail.  The boys put on an impromptu performance for our edification.
The ranges are a beautiful backdrop to a harsh landscape.
We drove through Brachina Gorge which is a rugged valley through an ancient rock formation.
We were able to see some fossils of ancient sponge like creatures that were 560 million years old.
 Once through the Gorge we were really hot and dry and the only local watering hole was at the Parachilna Pub. This is a pub in the middle of nowhere with a developing gourmet reputation.  Their bruschetta was brilliant!
