Day 1: 8.30am pick up from your
accommodation or railway station. The days travel takes
in both arid and rugged scenery. Lunch at Waukeringa
Ruins Historic Site before arriving at our destination
on one of the largest (1700 sq kms) working sheep
stations in the
Flinders Ranges. Accommodation is in
comfortable historic stone shearers quarters circa 1860.
While staying here take a walk through the shearing
shed, feed the horses, or just take a quite moment to
spot the birds and kangaroos. After dinner experience
the wonder of an outback night sky.

we have the opportunity to talk to the owners of this
magnificent property and learn about the five
generations of the family who have lived there.
