Very interesting country east of Burra.

All the tracks are marked public roads and require lots of time to explore.

Most of that country is barely seen by outsiders as it is not publicised.

On track yesterday to Fareaway Hills, we were meant to be travelling on.

I was out there with a friend doing a photographic shoot when we stopped to take some photos of a kangaroo under a tree..........well bugger me, it was a poor Kelpie, well over 20 kilometres from the nearest station.

The poor dog had jumped off the back of a Ute earlier that day when 50 kilometres away doing stock work. We made a 20 kilometre detour to Braemar Station to reunite the lost dog.

Travis took this photo when we were getting close to the homestead.....the dog knew it was going home.

Thanks John, and when you head into that country, plan on taking lots of time there is just so much to see and many special remote camping locations

As West Aussies, we have always found South Australia full of great surprises and look forward to returning.

With a view like that, you feel like you are ruling the world.......lol

The 'thone' . . . Mt Bryan summit ?
Been a lot of years since we sat in that as we walked that section of Heysen Trail, if I had to guess I'd say it was mid 90's.
It's a great area east of that highway but very few bother to visit, I guess there are other more well known places nearby.

There is just so much special country east of the Barrier Highway, it will take a long time to fully explore.

When you go, take your time to take it all in.

Unfortunately not yet Alan, that in another great part of the Northern Flinders Ranges

It’s fantastic country and have been on the phone most of the morning with station people to get to even more places out east of Burra.

I have even had a long talk with Braemar Station and they are so great full in the safe return of the Kelpie.
