From Ancient Aboriginal Rock engravings and painting, Historic old Ruins from bygone years through to the Worlds Greatest Merino Sheep Stud, from rich cropping pastures through to saltbush covered plains. Some truly spectacular scenery and a harsh reminder of the tough conditions that the pioneers endured in these lonely parts of SA. One of the highlites was a stop at the birth home of Sir Hubert Wilkins, he is a relatively unknown Australian adventurer, what a fascinating life he led. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hubert_Wilkins.
Would recommend this drive to all.
