In June 2023 my beloved and I visited the Flinders Ranges, (plus other outback South Australian places) and the Northern Territory’s “Red Centre”.
Nearly half a century had passed since our most recent trip to Wilpena Pound and nearby places.
It was more than forty years since we had last been in the NT, together.
Both regions proved as singular and beautiful in 2023 reality as they had been in our memories of the 1970s.
The featured landscape is circa 30 minutes driving distance, northeast, of Wilpena.
As you can see, the vegetation is pleasingly diverse.
Outback Australia’s landscapes are “reliably epic”, but the finer details within them are often even lovelier…as the next post will illustrate.
