Parachilna Won

After consulting with the locals, we decided to retrace our steps to Blinman and cross to the Outback Highway via Parachilna Gorge rather than risk the reportedly rocky creek bed road to Brachina Gorge. Our Subaru Outback AWD was thought to be better suited to the terrain there. Parachilna Gorge itself was very impressive, lots of sheer rock faces. Very dry though, certainly still drought conditions at this end of the Flinders Ranges. We checked out the pub at Parachilna which has a reputation for fine native tucker but didn't end up partaking in the fare on offer. Tomorrow we reluctantly leave the Flinders and start heading for Adelaide on our homeward leg to Canberra. We'll be overnighting on a farmstay at Wirrabara en route to our next digs at seaside Glenelg.Read more
