The Old Ghan Railway (25/11/11)

We are now on our way back south, heading towards Clare.  We are following the Old Ghan Railway track.  This line was replaced by a new line further west in the early 1980's.  The Old Ghan track was once an important link to central Australia, and the SA section is definitely very scenic with the Flinders Ranges in the background.  Simon and the kids had great fun collecting “dog spikes” (held the railway line to the sleepers) and other relics of the past.
