First location visited today was the Sacred Canyon which had a few aboriginal rock carvings, and was a small but beautiful gorge.

Stoke’s Lookout provided a great vista back toward Wilpena and a bronze topographical model identified all the surrounding landscape features.

A drive through Brachina gorge with its geological trail was really interesting and informative. Amongst the features were some fossilized stromatolites ….same as the living ones we saw at Hamelin Pool.

The lines on the surrounding hills are known as Trezona – interbedded siltstone with harder reddish limestone…a feature we had seen in a few locations on our trip. The Brachina formations were also very distinctive….Trev decided to try some bush tucker….bad move!! The creek ran through the gorge and majestic gums were dotted along the banks.

The gorge was full of varied and interesting rocky formations.

We returned home via Bunnyroo Gorge for our last night with the Coopers as tomorrow we begin our journey home…..
