Placed this
cache in a beautiful spot we stopped at for morning tea
whilst travelling with our "Old Boy" Rover Scout friends and
families. We were staying at Angorichina
Village, checked our maps and planned a trip using these
Public Access
Routes (PAR).
This is a
remote area 4WD
trip, between Hannigans Gap and Artimore H.S. ruins, to quote
"crossings and washouts are common" and that 7km took our 6
car convoy 2 hours! The clockwise loop from Angorichina and
back via Blinman totalled 85km.
The
scorpion was given naming honour when Dave, helping us
prepare the hide site and was about to say "you should take
care when turning over rocks" to our English visitor/import
(Paul), uncovered our large arachnid friend.
The cache
is a white 1lt screw-top container with the usual notebook
& pen, harmonica, rubber snakes, mini-compass carabineer
and other stuff.
PARs are
listed on a great brochure/map "4WD Tracks & Repeater
Towers" and the "Flinders Ranges and Outback
South Australia" visitor information guide. We also
recommend a feral meal at the Prairie Hotel at
Parachilna too.
Our party
got there and back again in the 'scargoes Challenger,
"Pasties" Paj', Rockys Rodeo, “Shopping Trolley” Paj’,
Philby's Forester! and Dave's Old Jack(eroo).
