• The Breakaways - sunset tour

    June 6, 2025 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    The second tour we did with George was to the Breakaways - amazing rock formations that show beautiful colours, especially with the evening sun. It was a 70km round trip from Coober Pedy and took us to an area called the moon plains (because of its barren landscape), the dog/dingo fence (longest fence in the world at over 5600km), and the spectacular breakaways.

    One formation looked like a camel lying down, another was supposed to be two dogs and there were various outlines in the rocks that were supposed to look like a face or a fish - but you really have to use your imagination. Climbed a small hill and it was so windy I felt as if it was going to blow me off balance (plenty of surface area here 😁)
    Ended the tour watching the sunset while drinking a cuppa and munching on a blueberry muffin.
