Scenes like this fasinate me. They are today when I take the shot but they are yesterday when the rains came and were regular. The River Red Gums are trees that tended to germinate during periods of flood.
Quorn is home to the Pichi Richi Historic steam railway. I captured this shot at dawn near the northern section of the rail yards in the town. These wheels are lined up with many other spare parts for use with the Pichi Richi standard gauge rail stock.
Flinders Ranges is the largest mountain range in South Australia, which starts approximately 200 km (120 mi) north-west of Adelaide. The discontinuous ranges stretch for over 430 km (270 mi) from Port Pirie to Lake Callabonna. Its most characteristic landmark is Wilpena Pound, a large, sickle-shaped, natural amphitheatre covering nearly 80 square kilometres (31 sq mi), containing the range's highest peak, St Mary Peak (1,170 m (3,840 ft)) and adjoining the Flinders Ranges National Park
As I did not get the opportunity on this occasion to photograph from the air, please take a look at this image to get the full perspective of Wilpena Pound:

This building served as a bakery for 78 years. The first baker was John Canny who also sold confectionary. The last baker was Stanley Bell who retired in late 1957. It later became
the Flinders Museum.
I remember visiting when it was a museum as a kid in 1973 and being fascinated by the two headed kittens and sheep in jars. I made my aunt take me there several times during my stay with her.

This ornately gabled building originally was the English,
Scottish & Australian Chartered Bank. Before 1881 the bank had
been operating in a weatherboard building on Railway Tce.
Now a private residence.
Australian National standard-gauge ALCos 604/601 combine to haul one of two (at the time) daily coal trains from the mine at Leigh Creek to the power station at Port Augusta. The 600 class were only used occasionally on the coal line, most often with a GM class loco making this combo very rare: December 30, 1987

Over the next 12 days I am going to post a photo taken from Huck's Lookout looking at the same part of the Ranges. They have been taken over a period of 8 years and will show that the Flinders Ranges has many faces, no matter how often you see them.
