Day 2 - your guide will take your through Bunyeroo and Brachina Gorges, over hills and ridges, with lunch at the outback Prairie Hotel at Parachilna. This region was once an ancient seabed and it now carries some of the most important early fossils. Here you will find 600 million year old fossils, a time span that defies understanding. The Flinders Ranges are home to a vast number of native animals and birds, which abound amongst the gum trees and on the steep, ragged slopes of the gorges. The vibrant colours of the rock faces, change through the day with the passage of the sun. Enjoy lunch at the Prairie Hotel. This historic Outback pub situated along the original Old Ghan Railway Line has an international reputation for its cuisine, in particular, their two signature dishes 'The Feral Mixed Grill' and the 'Feral Antipasto' (other meals available). Dusk and dawn are unforgettable spectacular. Bring your camera for this one.
