One perfect day (in the central flinders).

Looking west to the Picturesque Wilpena pound is just one of the breathtaking sites you can experience on your personalised Bookabee Tours Australia, tour. From this lookout, we can see the yacca trees in the foreground, the road cutting through the centre of the photo, and the eastern rim of Wilpena Pound featuring Saint Mary's Peak in the centre of the photo.
It was a great tour and a perfect day for traveling.
Come koin me some time. For more info, check out our website www.bookabee.com.au

Now this is a BIG Truck...

This is me standing in front of one of the e coal dump trucks used at the Leigh Creek Coal Fields in Leigh Creek in the Flinders Ranges. These things are gigantic... I though I was tall, but standing in front of this I look like a dwarf. I'm 6 foot tall and even the wheels tower over me.
To get to the cabin you need to climb up almost 18 feet of steps. These beasts are diesel electric jobs and they can carry a heap of coal. Anyhow, If this is your thing, we can even organise a tour of the coal mine as part of your personalized Flinders Ranges outback experience.
Cheers for now... For more check out the website...

Andu the Yellow footed rock Wallaby

Hi All
this is Andu the Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby. He;s pretty special and you can find him in the Flinders Ranges. On a Bookabee Tours Australia tour, we visit places where you can see this special wallaby in its home environment. A few years ago the Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby was threatened and almost found itself on the endangered species list. With some commitment from a lot of people the species is fighting back..

The mighty wedgetail eagle

On tour we see a lot of wildlife in out travels. most of the time, usually, by the time you get your camera out, they have flown off. On this occasion though, there were 7 eagles feeding and they weren't going to let an approaching vehicle scare them off. We sat for a few minutes and collected some great photos of these magnificent eagles feeding and jockeying for the best parts of the animal. this photo was taken as this eagle was trying to intimidate another into moving over. It would have worked for me... they are pretty fierce when they want to be...

True art in unlikely places...

Hi Again...
Another fascinating etching is this one of a Urtlu (Kangaroo). Along side of t is an etching of hand prints, a snake, some paw pints and an Waartyi (emu) foot print.
'It's all good' hope to see you on tour one day.

Stepping back in time

Hi All
One of the special treats about touring with Bookabee Tours Australia is the ability to travel to places generally considered closed to Tourism. As an Adnyamathanha (pron. Ud-nah-mut-an-ah) person, I can visit many places around the Flinders Ranges where my grand father took me to when i was younger. The best part is I can also share many of his stories.
This place is among many others like it, where the spiritual significance just exudes from the surroundings. The picture depicts an etching of an owl along side other etchings. The site has long been known as a place where Adnyamathanha allowed members of other groups to pass through our land. It contains many etching believed to be from right across Australia. It's a great place to visit to re-energize and recharge the batteries.
Anyhow, for more check the website.

My little friends...

On a Bookabee Tours Australia tour you never know who you'll meet when you travel the roads in the outback... This little friend was spared a nasty end when I saved him from being squashed. Despite him not being too pleased (about being moved off the road) he did prove to be a great photo opportunity for the guests. They also got to feel his back and tiny feet.
I placed him back on the side of the road and the last time we saw him he was moving in the right direction... For more, go to www.bookabee.com.au
