Today we left the River Murray and headed through the Southern Flinders Ranges. Beautiful countryside, mostly pastures with no shortage of Vineyards throughout the areas we crossed through.
The highlight for me was to take the "Ladies" to Burra, a small town near the start of the Southern Flinders that was once Australia's largest inland town. Born mostly through a mining works that mined Copper, the population was made up of many Cornish immigrants. Particularly relevant as Julia spent her teen years growing up in Cornwall and her family remain there. I love Australia's inland towns and given that a bluestone cottage with 4 bedrooms, air con and full refurb in towns like Burra and Morgan (on the Murray)can be bought for less than $200,000, I wonder why more people don't have holiday houses out there!
Great things to know about Burra; the movie Breaker Morant was filmed there and it is the sister town to St Ives in Cornwall (8 miles from where Julia's Mum and Dad, Brother and his family live!!).
