Watch out for those thunderstorms!

Hello all, I am new to this so please bear with me… I’ve been keen on the Flinders for quite some time, at least since my university days. I remember going there with my brother, doing the climb to St Marys peak and camping out in Bunyeroo Valley. It’s only been recently however that I have had the time to go there more often than almost never… I also have an interest in photography, and again it’s only been recently that I have had the time to get more into this. So what I have been doing is going up to the... MORE

Award-winning landscape photographer Pamela Inverarity is set to take her spectacular shots of the Flinders Ranges south for her first ever solo exhibition outside her gallery in Leigh Creek.

When all else is finished…

Depot Hill near, Orroroo

Depot hill is actually the one on the far left. Orroroo is our home town, and I’m continually amazed what can be found within 50 odd km.

Laidback in Wirrabara Forest

I you ever get a chance, take a minute to wander through the ancient trees at the old Wirrabara Forestry Nursery. Lay back in the cool, and soak up the silence.

A different take on the Port Germein Jetty

Not really into cock-eyed horizons, but I sort of like this one better. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A different take on the Port Germein Jetty", url: "http://www.flindersranges.com.au/2008/08/29/a-different-take-on-the-port-germein-jetty/" }); [Read more...]

Port Germein Jetty

The Port Germein jetty is the longest timber jetty in the southern hemisphere, not sure if that is before or still. Fire or storm damaged a fair chunk off the end of it, (can’t remember) SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Port Germein Jetty", url: "http://www.flindersranges.com.au/2008/08/28/port-germein-jetty/" }); [Read more...]
