Day 130: Glass Gorge – Flinders Rangers SA.

Nestled in the top part of the Flinders Rangers you don’t have to be in the National Park to see the splendour of this location.  Near Blinmen (highest town in SA) is the Glass Gorge, found  on a dirt, windy road about 15km from town.  It cuts through the valley and left behind is slate like rock (sorry I’m no geo) that is stacked up along the banks and very brittle when the water runs through and snaps off, leaving it on the river bed below.  There are some awesome patterns in the rocks and it would be some force of water to break them off because I can stand on them and they didn’t crumble, so that has to say something.
