The road to Buckaringa Gorge, Flinders Ranges.

Devils Peak near Quorn late yesterday.

Me at Buckaringa Gorge yesterday. With thanks to @boyfrombruce.bsky.social for taking the photo.

The Pichi Richi Railway's 'Afghan Express' travels from Port Augusta to Quorn and passes right by the farm where I was staying. In fact, the hills behind the train are part of the farm. After a bbq lunch, we went to the top to take photos on its return run and enjoy the views.

When you know your friends aren't home but you call in to see their dog anyway. Hi Ruby 😁

Sad to be leaving the farm today, with its magnificent views of Mount Brown. It's been a nice little break.

Had an awesome couple of hours at Buckeringa Gorge today. @boyfrombruce.bsky.social and I even saw a flock of cockatiels!

A big busy day today, hanging out with friends and doing some photography. I got some nice pics of the Afghan Express steam train. So I'll have some good bird and train pics to share when I get home 🙂

Spectacular day here after some miserable weather. Freezing morning though. The steam train goes right past the farm so I'll get some photos of that later today.

The farm has some magical spots to explore. I spent some time here birding this afternoon. Pretty nice.

I'm pleased to see that the impressive willie wagtail nest is still here.

Million dollar views here. The owners think we are doing them a favour by farm-sitting. In reality, we are the lucky ones 😀

This farmhouse has turned into a party house for people in their 60s and 70s. People sleeping on the floor 😄

Remember my friend Phil who had that terrible car accident in Feb? This was him today 😀

Making friends in Quorn ...

Another old pub ... though with a newish roof. This has appeared in a few movies.

Love a rundown old country pub. Roadtrip highlights.

I might be a bit quiet for the next week. I'll be here - or nearby. This is at the top of the hill on the farm, looking out over Spencer Gulf. Might take some wine up to this spot and watch the sunset. Y'all behave while I'm gone, okay?

Breakfast at Adelaide Airport with some of my favourite people this morning - including Phil and Margot, for those who remember them from the other place. Good times 😀
