Day 16: Quorn

Went for breakfast at the Quandong cafe. They had the fire going and it was lovely and warm inside. Then did a walking tour of the town. It is a very neat and quiet place. A few shops empty but it manages to keep at least 2 pubs going there is a third but it didn't look like it was more than a bottle shop. It looked like there could have been 4 or 5 in its heyday.
I remember thinking a while ago that it was like walking across some old movie sets and I was right. 

There have been few movies made out here with Quorn featured in a couple. The Sundowners was made here plus The Shiralee, Gallipoli, The Water Diviner, Sunday too far Away, Robbery Under Arms and The last Ride. There were a few more older ones as well. Love the architecture of the older houses. It all looked and felt ok in the cold of a winters morning. Wonder what its like in the middle of summer?

A bit of shopping, a postcard for Isabelle and a repack for the next leg. Not a long leg. Only 3 nights, 4 days but two of the bigger peaks to go over in the Southern Flinders. Will have to come back to have a ride on the Pichi Richi train with the family. Another pub dinner tonight and in bed early.
