RV TRAVEL
We eventually found a turn-off just past Curnamona Station and swung left onto Martins Well Road, the Flinders in the distance.
Passing the huge Martin Wells Station, we were finally on the last leg of the‘ shortcut’, now with the Chace Range towering beside us to the south, which somehow would be connected to the stunning Flinders Ranges close by.
Our last stop was at the very impressive Pugilist Hill lookout. The short, steep track to the top led us to the most amazing view of stunning prehistoric ranges claimed to be the oldest rock in the world, holding so many secrets from the past.
Down across the landscape below, it was easy to trace where old creek beds lay, with trails of green gums that had been soaking up the water for many years. It was also easy seeing other travellers pass by with their dust trails lingering without a breeze to disperse the dust.
Our journey was nearly over – it was just a few kilometres to the Flinders Ranges Road and up to camp.
Now, while the shortcut got thrown out the window because we spent a day exploring the ruins, it definitely was great exploring the goldfields and getting off the beaten track.
Stamper foundations.
