Flinders Ranges National Park - Enpsychlopedia Flinders Ranges is a mountain range and a national park in South Australia ( Australia), 384 km north of Adelaide. Hawker townsite was surveyed at a bend in the railway line where the train line left the main road to Blinman, and named in 1880 after South Australian politician and pastoralist, George Charles Hawker. This, along with the copper mining lobby (copper was mined in the Hawker-Flinders Ranges area in the late 1850's and transported overland by bullock dray), induced the government to build narrow gauge railway line north of Port Augusta through Pichi Richi Pass, Quorn, Hawker and along the west of the ranges, eventually to Marree. www.grohol.com /psypsych/Flinders_Ranges

Dictionary of Australian Biography We-Wy While in Australia he wrote a little for the press but published nothing in book form, and though befriended by James Smith (q.v.) and others he was obliged to apply for admittance to the Melbourne benevolent asylum in February 1862. Returning to Australia he became director of military operations, and was acting-chief of the general staff at the outbreak of the 1914-18 war. He came to Australia when there were few sculptors there of ability, and it must be presumed that his sketch models were better than his finished works, as in later years he more than once obtained important commissions in competition with better men. gutenberg.net.au /dictbiog/0-dict-biogWe-Wy.html

Accom.Com.Au - The Eyre Peninsula SA The Barrier Highway is one of South Australia's major inland routes, connecting Adelaide with the New South Wales outback and beyond.

World Travel Guide - South Australia - maps South Australia’s best slice of the outback is to be found in the ancient Aboriginal heritage area of Flinders Ranges, a region of granite peaks and spectacular and colourful gorges, dotted with eucalyptus trees. South Australia stretches upwards to the Northern Territory, and eastwards to Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria and westwards to Western Australia. South Australia contains one of the most important valley regions producing wines; from the reds of Coonawarra to the Rieslings of the Eden Valley. www.stinsonlibrary.org /wtg/wtg/data/sta/staMiniguide.htm

South Australia Most people, when they think of South Australia picture Adelaide, its fine elegant capital, or the wine-growing regions of the Barossa Valley or the Coonawarra, or perhaps the spine of mountains that is the Flinders Ranges, the great expanse of shifting sand of the Simpson Desert or the flatness that is the Nullarbor Plain. The Eyre Highway cuts across the flat, treeless Nullarbor Plain close to the spectacular coastline of the Great Australian Bight, while the Stuart Highway runs through the heart of the state, past the opal mining centre of Coober Pedy from the Northern Territory border south of Alice Springs. Major highways cut through the state from east to west, converging on Adelaide from Broken Hill in New South Wales, from Mildura and Ouyen in northern Victoria and from Horsham and Portland in central and southern Victoria. www.worldtourism.com.au /SouthAustralia

The Flinders Highway, Queensland The Flinders Highway is the long, long road that crosses Queensland from east to west, from Townsville on the Pacific coast to the border with the Northern Territory at Camooweal, a small village with a Road House.

Total solar eclipse 2002 December 4 in South Australia Many of the ridges and hills in the Flinders are capped by one or the other of these quartzites; which act as a protective layer for the softer rocks beneath them. South Limit crosses the road in flat barren and treeless terrain 28.5km from Leigh Creek. The distinctive topography of the northern Flinders Ranges is the result of "dome and basin" tectonics, modified by more recent geological faults and diapirs. astronomy.trilobytes.com.au /2002/lyndhurst.htm

Future Walkabouts Area-wise, South Australia is quite a bit larger than New South Wales; but since the interior regions to the north and west are far too rugged and manly for most folks, only around one and a half million people live in the state. The vineyards of South Australia account for two-thirds of the wine production in Australia, and wine tasting is available at any of those wineries. West of Albany, the traveler can enjoy the many pleasures of the southwest corner of Western Australia. www.noworriesmate.com /Books/NWM_W06F.htm

Sensational South Australia It’s possible to do this drive as a huge triangle from Port Augusta, heading south on the Lincoln Highway, north on the Flinders Highway and back via the main road, the Eyre Highway. Australia’s Lutheran heartland, the Barossa Valley, is home to many of the country’s biggest and best-known wine producers and generates more wine each year than any other region. If not for Lutheran migrants and their passion for fine wine, the Australian wine industry might not be the international powerhouse it is today. www.theopenroad.com.au /travel_greatdrives_3greatdrivesinsa.asp

Around Australia Trip 2004 - Part 1 As we drove along the Flinders Highway, we saw more bicycles with panniers, and I marvelled as always at the people who would attempt long distance rides. However this road lets us avoid going into Townsville, and cuts a lot of kilometres off by the time you join the main road west, the Flinders Highway, and the road was open all the way. By then we were only 70 km east of the Threeways, where we intercept the Stuart Highway, the main-north south road between Adelaide and Darwin. www.avalook.com.au /trip2004/part1-2004trip.htm
