My 2nd par for the course in front of Swedish backpackers- I overheard them say- Ooh and he can play golf as well!- or I think that's what they said?

PodróżnikThe drive up that way is quite stunning, and the gorges are very similar to ours, as you say.
PodróżnikYes. The road to get through the Flinders Ranges via Horrocks Pass was very impressive. I don't know whether you have been to Alligator Gorge but we saw a cyclist walking up the first of the hills and there was a series of very steep hills much worse than the first - suffice to say we didn't see him at the gorge as he must have given up and turned around. Mind you your older sister Audrey probably would have made it on her electric bike!!!
