Arden Hills

---

Introduction

This was a drive that we did while we visited Quorn. Ken was keen to try out some Four-wheel driving so we joined him for some rough roads, high excitement and amazing scenery and wild life. You pay some money at the Austral Hotel in the main street of Quorn and access the Arden Hills from within Warren Gorge. A magnificent experience with stunning views to the East and West.

Dan says...

The drive was beautiful and stomach churning - a strange combination. Everywhere you saw nature, amazing views and lots of wildlife - it was so beautiful that you feel proud having Australian blood in you.

It was stomach-churning as it went up and down, side to side and jiggle jiggle. I think I need an alka-selsa.

Maximum serenity even without the pylons
Phew. I just received seven blog entries in my inbox. A marathon. This one was my favourite. The scenery looks spectacular. Keep the blogs coming. They give us great ideas for walks that are suitable for Samuel and the girls. Edward

Apologies for the blog-email-bonanza. Travel blog had a hiccup and I had to spend time restoring and re-publishing blogs. Arden hills was special - but a 4 wheel drive is a must. Glad to hear you are finding them inspiring. All the best, Diana, Peter and Dan.
