It’s so weird to be staying in a tuberculosis sanatorium Sandy N Vyjay! But the spectacular scenery makes it all worthwhile … and this section of the Flinders Ranges isn’t so much on the tourist trail so you often have the attractions to yourself 😀

This is an amazing area full of adventure and it would be thrilling to visit. Angorichina Tourist Village is really lovely and the scenic beauty so soothing, no wonder it housed a tuberulosis sanatorium. I find the abandoned Copper mines another area of interest, would love to explore this.

Beautiful photos! Btw, thanks for explaining what ‘adit’ and ‘reg grundys’ mean – I’d never ever figure out what these can possibly mean 🙂

I’m calling this one of the most interesting and varied locations in the Flinders Ranges, Anne! It’s amazing what the miners were able to achieve in Australia because quite apart from the HARD work, the landscape must have felt as alien as if they were on Mars! Would love to do the Daydream Mine one day – this trip has given me a new appreciation of old mine sites!

Red, this looks like an amazing area to visit! I can appreciate your comments about the Welsh miners – we did the Daydream mine tour near Broken Hill a few years ago and had a very similar experience to yours – definitely not a job I would voluntarily take on…

HHHMMMmmm… ‘becoming’, huh?!?! And I’ve found so many new cool loos over the last year or so I’ll probably be doing another loo calendar. There are too many ‘real’ photographers out there putting out calendars of heavily processed random landscapes for my simple little Aussie landscapes to compete with!!!

You are becoming quite the travel blogger. What is your next calendar going to be?

Shadows don’t bother me like they used to, Christie – I used to cut them out, but now I think they make for great atmosphere! I’m sure you DO have ‘Great Walls of China’ – it’s just that your places probably just have more imaginative names? Down here, a ‘Great Wall’ is any rocky outcrop or cliff more than a few metres long!!!

I’ve ironed a patch on my jeans now, Iris, and the spinifex is long gone! Glad it made you laugh – it was meant to!! And thanx for your kind comment about my artistic Heysen Trail pic – it’s actually one of my favourites from the whole trip!!
