    Quorn

    February 18, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today we left Adelaide behind and went to Clare Valley where the rest of the group had a wine tasting at a Taylor's Vineyard.
    After the vineyard we went to the city of Clare and had lunch at Pancho's
    After lunch we drove to Quorn, a former railway town on the South- to North coast train called the Pichi Richi trail, on. However, the area gets to much rain so now the train is not going through here anymore. On the way to Quorn we stopped at Goyder's line, an arbitrary line made by a man named Goyder who said you won't be able to grow anything north of the line. Turned out he was right.
    After arriving at Quorn we went to Warren Gorge to look for rock wallabies, and luckily we managed to see a couple. On the drive we also saw an Emu with his 9 chicks (babies).
    We had dinner and celebrated Katha's birthday. On the way back from dinner, we saw hundreds of parrots fly across the sky in a cacophony of noise. Quite amazing.
    We all went early to bed as we have a sunrise hike tomorrow morning.
