South Australia’s longest chain of mountains is named after Matthew Flinders, not by him; “the navigator” did not impose his own name on any natural feature.
One of the Flinders’ gems is Parachilna Gorge, on the mountains’ western side.
Very soon after you drive back out of the gorge, you look across a seemingly-endless, flattish plain.
Sitting in it, nearby, is the almost-town of Parachilna; effectively, its excellent pub is the town.
Lake Frome’s vast salt-flat is a deal further “out there”, due west…so too the setting sun, at 5.19 pm on 06 June 2023.
