Port Augusta West, Australia
We finally turned our heals, once again defeated, and made the 3km trek back to the mother ship. As we fired up the moter a road appeared. How had we missed it? In a last ditch effort we set the odometer for 1.3km and drove on in. Much to our surprise we arrived at the site of the Sacred Canyons and they were awe inspiring. We were literally walking on a dried out river bed with 50 foot jagged rock walls jutting up on either side of us. The prehistoric engravings themselves were pretty cool, thankfully there was a legend to help decipher the drawings into water, emu, kangaroo, people.
We left the sacred site with a sense of wonder and continued on with our scheduled visits. Against our rental agreement we went offroading through the Bunyeroo and Bachinda Gorges which was an awesome experience. We arrived on the opposite side of the flinders Rangers, welcomed the paved road and headed on to Port Augusta, our last stop before we take on the REAL Outback.
