Parachilna Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Today we visited the Flinders Ranges. It looks like a big hole (ca 6km diameter) in the bottom. But when you stand inside, surround from a lot big mountains, you feel you very small. After a big walk about 3 hours we come back to the car. We had lunch and then we visited a gallery in a 6 people village. Then we searched a good place for the suns...

Ian, the same driver from the 2 day trip from Alice to Adelaide, picked me up. We visited the Mount Remarkable National Park, walked around and had Lunch there. Then we drove along the old train lines to the Rawnsley Camping Park and viewed the sunset from the next mountain.

Nonchalant kangaroos stare at our camera lenses in the Flinders Range National Park. One, dozing in the shade of a trailer, is happy to be stroked and then hopped over looking for food. Giant red river gums shed their bark and branches by the dry creek bed. A shingleback, a chunky, armadillo-skinned lizard shuffles slowly away from the path. Whe...

Another bus tour of excitement begins! This time the little bus is packed to the gills with people, which is sad because I like being able to monopolize a row to myself so as to be able to lie down, and that won't be possible, because we have 20 people on this bus. The guide is a jovial fellow named Firie who likes to tell a lot of tall-tales; t...
