The bus tour

We spent the first 2 days of our bus tour in the Flinders Ranges, which are a few hours north of Adelaide.

We climbed up Dutchman's Stern (named either for the back end of a Dutchman's ship or the back end of a Dutchman).

The gum trees have an amazing ability to regenerate, even when the trunk is burned almost all the way through.

Pretty desolate here.


Got in a short bike ride.

And watched a sheep shearing

Great pics. The human Dutchman looks pretty darn good. Continue to enjoy while we are delighted with 25' SUNNY days.
