Mount Bryan -tiny place with a population of only 70, the birthplace of Sir George Hubert Wilkins an Australian Polar Explorer who was the first to land an aeroplane on ice at the artic, one of the first to fly across the Atlantic and led the first expedition to see if it was possible to pilot a submarine across the Atlantic and under the artic in 1931. It failed but paved the way for a later successful crossing.
Peterborough - Family photo looking over the plains as the sun sets. Very hot and dusty. A railway town and a stop for the Indian Pacific train on its way between Adelaide and Sydney.
Flinders Ranges National Park - Wilpena Pound. A large natural basin covering about 80 sq km, on the outside the wall rise almost sheer for 500m inside the basin slopes away like a bowl creating a natural pound for keeping stock.Cowell on Franklin Harbour on the Eyre Peninsular. Fleur and Ellie jumped off the pier a few times before catching up on some school work.
Looks very peaceful there. Hope the school work is going well. Let's have a picture of the view of the road from inside the car on the next post
