Leaving the Flinders Ranges we stopped in Hawker to get the tyre fixed. We found out it was probably not a rock but more likely a nail or bolt. The hole was perfectly round. Busiest place in Hawker is the tyre repair shop. We waited around 3 hours then headed south to a little town called Orroroo on the banks of their historic reservoir. The area has recently been done up to include a number of RV / caravan bays. No water or facilities but a nice place to stop. if you can find a spot out of the wind.Read more

Another day in Orroroo we decided to walk the Pekina Creek Trail downstream from the old reservoir. This followed the creek down into the town and then back up the other side. A couple of highlights included a place called The Rock Poem where a young lad had carved two poems into a rock back in 1896 and 1901 before he left to find his fortune in the USA and then some aboriginal carving dated back around 7000 years, amazing. We extended the walk out the other side of town to see the Giant Gum tree and it was well worth the hike. This thing is huge. A bonus on the walk back was coming across a number of Shingleback Lizards (or Sleepy Lizards) on the track.
A stroll back through town was typical of these small country towns with a lot of empty shopfronts and businesses closing down. They really try hard to attract the tourists but it is obviously a hard road.Read more

Travelled through a few quaint little towns. Decided to stay at a property which I think it owned by Mick who has generously offered his land for people to appreciate and enjoy. We are sitting up on a hilltop overlooking a beautiful vista. Only ones here.Read more

Along the way from Yacka to Orroroo we past some beautiful scenery and historic towns. Jamestown and Petersbrough were beautiful. We visited the Railway museum in Peterbrough and Bundaleer Forest and sculpture walk near Jamestown. Both very interesting! I knew I’d like the sculptures but was surprised by how much I enjoyed the tour of the old railway. Hosted by a volunteer who was a railway worker many years ago. There was even a turn table and some sheds very similar to those in Thomas the tank🚂.
We ended the evening with a G&T, a camp fire and another sunset view. I seem never to tire of these. 😀🌄

The Orroroo caravan park was well set up with good facilities not to mention the camp fire pit and mountain views.Read more

Nice little town with a tree avenue down the centre. Visit the Giant Red Gum - it's only 350m off the main drag and it was impressive.
