Friends in Melbourne said: “you must visit Arkaroola”. I’m glad I took their advice as the place is packed with extraordinary scenery and geological interest. A geologist, Reg Spriggs discovered one of the oldest fossils of a living organism and gained international fame. One shot is of the actual fossil. The family continues the research started by Reg and are the most welcoming hosts.
What a place: rugged steep hillsides, layers of red rock standing vertical in layers, and wild creek beds with an abundance of flora around waterholes. A 4X4 vehicle is a requirement if you want to do your own exploring. I was given a short list of short drives to remarkable locations and I only saw a few.
By the way, to get there is a long dusty drive from anywhere!!
