Ouyen to Flinders Ranges

Day 2 sunrise at Ouyen and a cold start to the day ... however lovely sunshine all day which was great.

Beautiful drive through the sheep/wheat fields north of Waikerie up to Burra. Next day beautiful drive up through the Flinders Ranges to Blinman.

Stayed that night at the only pub in this tiny little ghost of a town,The Blinman Hotel. Big open fire in lounge and pizza special on Friday night,
red wine and heater and electric blanket kept the cold away that night. Next morning brekky at the local store and we were on our way north.

Burra is a picturesque little town with a copper mining past and present, although now they don't mine copper they process scrap copper into agricultural chemicals.

A 3 pub town - had a drink at one before dinner and only the two of us eating out that night at another one!

Great little antiques, old books & things + coffee shop for sale there if anyone is interested.
