    I come from near there. At Sacred Canyon, if you stand still long enough and walk the full length ( not very long ). You won't be disappointed with the rock art. There is tonnes of it there. Look up high, on large rocks. You'll wonder if the Aborigines had scaffold. There is carvings on small rocks everywhere also. They tell stories like a map. There's carvings of rock pools, tadpoles, crabs ,circles and spirals etc. Maybe even people. Been a while. It's a map to follow to the Spencer Gulf. Good crabs and sea food in the direction indicated.

      The only sealed road is the main one in but you only get to see what they want to show you rather then adventuring off. Best to have an bike that can be off road capable.

    Pleased you enjoyed the trip and that you appreciate the lovely flinders ranges but please note that it appears that you drove into the old ruins near Blinman. There is a no entry sign there for driving in as the area is fragile. Please also note it’s private property and some of us don’t appreciate dogs being allowed to run free. Or that people assume free camping.

    Just so you are aware, it's a 5000 fine using a drone in any national park. Also saying you're disappointed in the rock art is so so disrespectful to the people of the land.

    • @Sparkysontheloose
      @Sparkysontheloose  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So you're assuming that we dont have a commerial drone license or permission. Also the rock art has been vandalised to the point were it dosnt even look like it ever was art. Have you even seen the rock art, its disrespectful if you havn't.
