Things Missing

I was going camping with dad, I packed a couple of things and chucked them into the suit case. When we got there I got my suit case out of the car. I opened it to get a jumper, it was very cold up there but then I realised that I hadn’t got the right things.  I had only got slippers, pyjamas,  spare clothes and my school sand shoes which got wrecked. But we had fun.   SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Things Missing", url: "http://www.flindersranges.com.au/2008/12/03/things-missing/" }); [Read more...]

Tourism Interpretation – George Aldridge

The conference was put on by Interpretation Australia Association. Various keynote speakers and presenters from around Australia and overseas made the conference well worth attending. Interpretation being what makes visiting a place like the Flinders Ranges worthwhile, whether it’s Wadlata Outback Centre or a yarn with a local. Georges interpretation shows Burke and Wills who perished up near... MORE

Scene over the concert site, Melrose

Remarkable Festivals, a progressive offshoot of the Melrose Show Society has built a reputation of class acts and well run events in the last 3 or so years. With the first Rock the Mount event with Steve Forde the benchmark was set. Each event since has been staged with similar great results. Lee Kernaghan calls it his South Aussie “home” and Telstra Road to Tamworth has staged two heats here with a great line up of talent. The setting, against the backdrop of Mount Remarkable, the camping, the venue and the great river red... MORE
