Gawler Ranges and Minnipa

We headed east a couple of days ago back along the inland Eyre Highway. Had a great day hoofing it around the Gawler Ranges and then a night in a small town called Minnipa sadly it looks like the town is dying the post ofice has closed - the petrol station has closed. But we found a good crowd at the pub for dinner and had a great meal.

Next day off to see some more rock formations around the area, one of them is said to be the second biggest rock in Australia after Uluru. It rained while we were there and you can see why the early farmers followed what the locals had been doing for eons in capturing the water as it runs off the rocks and directing to dams.

Some retrospective commentary, now that I have a gmail account (thanks to EF's advice).
Love the wild abandon on Polda Rock - and the sweeping sky. Wave rock is awesome and the rainbow beautiful!

Peter reckons you are both v. good photographers - great composition, sharp and good to look at! Keep it up!
