Getting There via Hawker

A sleepy little Outback town...the general store sold the usual odd grab-bag of things: rickrack, old Butterick patterns, polyester dresses, hats, batteries, alfalfa sprouts.... and right by the door there was a cardboard box with a slit cut in the top where you could return your library books :)

Sleepy Outback town or no, you could still get a decent cappuccino in the art gallery/diner/souvenir store next to the general store.

Camping in the Flinders Ranges

Huge trees over 525 million years old, and natural habitat for many native animals. Driving in we saw kangaroos and wallabies; driving out, we saw emus. Spectacular scenery -- some of the hollows in the trees were big enough for a couple of people to sit inside with room to spare.
