Dry Times.

Dry times in the Southern Flinders Ranges of South Australia looking across the plains towards Orroroo from the hills above Melrose.

Holiday Units.

Melrose is located 265 kilometres north of Adelaide and is the oldest town in the Flinders Ranges.

These unusual looking overnight accommodation units can be found at one of the local Hotels in Melrose's main street.













The designer of these units certainly came up with something different to look at. One unit was even built around a tree as if the vehicle had actually hit the tree while travelling along.

Melrose South Australia Part Two.

As we left Melrose located in South Australia and heading up into the ranges towards the Mount Remarkable National Park, we came across this small creek crossing.













With the gum trees and vegetation in the area, it would make a lovely spot to have a picnic lunch on a nice sunny day.

Melrose South Australia.

Now that I have the computer up and running again after it's upgrade, I can now get back to the daily posting here.

These three images were taken up in the hills behind Melrose, a small farming town in the mid north of South Australia.









The photos were taken during April 2007 which was before the good rains that have now fallen in the area eventuated.

I am sure if we were to go back to the same location today, things would be a lot greener than shown here.









Sheep were casually grazing on what feed they could fins and soon wondered away when we arrived.

When it was time to shear these sheep, one would have to know what he was doing to be able to get them all out of the paddocks.
