May
We walked up to the
ruins of the old Aroona Homestead first thing this morning and were treated to
gorgeous views of the valley and the Heysen Range. Photos simply can’t capture
the colours, the light, the atmosphere, the stillness. It was so nice in this area that we didn’t
leave until after lunch.
Blinman is a little
settlement in the hills and we stopped for a cold drink at the hotel, getting a
little local knowledge before continuing through to Parachllna Gorge. Wow, this place was amazing! Again, diverse rock wall formations, dry
creek beds lined with large river gums, colour … we’re so lucky to be seeing
all this. We found a beautiful spot to
camp, well off the road and by a red rocky escarpment. There was just enough wood to be found to
have a small campfire, where we sat with a glass of red Spanish wine (thanks
Shane!) and chatted under the stars.
