WTF is the Flinders Ranges Mayor doing in the picture, saying a prayer ? Perhaps he's praying that his header pipe won't fall off.
You don't need an expensive European thoroughbred to get there either.............. (P.S. Well done Pete; good idea this thread)
Where are the instructions for 'Trev's Tree' on the PAR. Only asking in case the DR gets a bit jittery next time I'm up there!!
The track used to travel directly underneath it back then smart arse, but now is about 7 or 8 metres away, you might just miss it!!!
She may wish to pay homage thats all I was rudely questioned the other day as to the Doggies sticker on the tail. Told 'em it was left as a sign of respect.
Thanks for doing this, its a great place. Imagine if we could do this for all the other great riding regions around. I feel inspired Can these all be kept as a sticky somehwere?
Yeah right. Like the smelly Vics never stole all the great SANFL players to prop up the VFL eh. And Outback Jack, that'd be "pastie" mate. A "pasty" is the colour of a Victorians face, 'cos the weather is so good........
That's what we like, ex-pats to the rescue. BTW, probably no need to book any flights to Adelaide early in Oct!!
HAWKER Hawker is the largest town before you head in to Wilpena & beyond. The Pub has new owners who are more customer friendly (they own the Blinman pub). 2 Caravan parks. I recommend the Flinders Ranges Caravan park General store/caffe opposite the servo, Good Coffee here. 3 places for mechanical repairs/fabrication. If you want a little upmarket tucker visit the Old Ghan Restaurant the owner Bob likes a drink. Good food. The restaurant is in the old Hawker railway station. HEMA Maps
So there's no truth to the rumor that the baker from Cornwall was shipwrecked and survived on his Roo and rodent Pasty? Now a SA delicacy :dg
Miranda Kerr has sat on one of the chairs in the General store/caffe at Hawker . she even autographed the wall..
A bit of trivia, just to confirm TJ's story. Extracted from: Walk from Parachilna Gorge to Mt Hopeless Part One - Parachilna to Angepena by Gavin Campbell "In the mood of the person who named this area, (Hannigan Gap and Home rule Flat) maybe Patawarta Gap and Mountain had been wrongly spelt and had in fact been named after that well-known Irishman Pat O'Warta. This would lend credence to Hans Heysen calling the Mountain Old Pat;." HEMA Maps
I'm looking for an interesting fire bucket to enjoy a small fire and a large beer or three by after a long day of riding. I'm looking for something like a small tractor or excavator bucket however am open minded. I'm willing to spend a few bucks and to organize transport. Please help!
