21 July - Arltunga and Trephina Gorge

Another day trip from Alice, this time to visit the old gold mining town of Arltunga. If you think Alice was isolated in the 1880s then Arltunga was even more so. There are many relics of the gold mining town spread through the bush here and you can only wonder how they managed to get steam engines and boilers through the desert from Adelaide by camel in those times.





We loved the scenery, especially at Trephina Gorge. Another been there, done that to mark off the list.
