Photos by Luise Loose : on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

Nice photo but its totaly incorrectly positioned...!

....dangerous one that fella he'll eat the flowers off your pumpkin plants if he can get at them!

Good old blue tongue sunning himself.

We got meat from that butcher in 1981 and it did not last even the day before it was foul smelling...

I'm suprised the building has lasted so long.

It does not look to be much worse than it was way back then!!

But looking at the 'google street view' a few minutes ago, it is not looking like it will last another 10 years.

Never been that far north Luise, but my lad spent over a year in Darwin, just a stones throw away from Old Jim Jim Road...

Looks like a typical Ossie road, in the bush. But you need to keep a look out for the camels and the buffs! They are capable of doing much damage to most cars.

Even a good sized roo can wreck a car if you hit it, or a wombat for that matter!

I think that there are thousands of kilometres of unsealed roads in Oz - and you will be delighted to see that there are only a few roads in the Flinders that are sealed.

I lived in Stirling North, Port Augusta, SA for 15 years, and despite getting only about 10"/250mm rain a year on average, I enjoyed my time there, for the most part.

When you leave Port Augusta, there are only four sealed roads to go on...

But those are the road back towards Port Pirie, to Whyalla, up towards Woomera and the Quorn Road, which passes through Stirling North before reaching part of the Flinders Ranges.

Oh, there is the Old Adelaide Road, that heads up to Horrocks Pass, and Willmington... Nearly forgot that road, but it is only part sealed, much broken up, last time I traveled on that!

Mind you, there are not more than a dozen or so that lead OUT from Port Augusta that are 'dirt or gravel' roads....

When you travel around the countryside, the Number 1 Hiway is sealed all the way around. Mind you, it takes ages to get around the whole bloody country, almost hugging the shoreline for much of the way. Or within a short distance of the sea.

North of Port Augusta, the only sealed roads are the road up to Alice Springs and the road through the lower Flinders, the Quorn Road (35 or 40km), that then leads on to Hawker (75km?, as I seem to remember, distance wise).

There are more miles of dirt roads, blooming well ploughed into the red earth that I think are sealed in the southern part of SA.
