CHAPTER 9

A STEP BACK

My next journey takes me from the hills I live on, northwards along the spine of the Mount Lofty Ranges.

While the narrative here now might be one of drought, electricity costs, and small farming communities surviving in spite of all the challenges and isolation, it is the longer story of the north I am interested in following. The earth stretches from the green hills to the flat, thirsty farmland and then up to the foothills of the ochre cliffs of the Flinders Ranges. Along the way, the holes from mining, still deep in the earth tell one story of South Australia; the etchings on gorge walls and the scabs left on scarred trees in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges tell another, and the fossils, squirming, swaying, crawling life-forms half a billion years old, recount the earliest stories of all in South Australia.
