- THE
NORTH BLINMAN HOTEL Built in 1869 it still retains much of the
atmosphere of the early outback. An old miner's cottage, built in
1862, the Post Office (1862) and the Police Station (1874) are in
the town's main street.
- CHAMBERS
GORGE East of Blinman, the rugged topography is broken by the
placid rock pools of Chambers Gorge. There are good examples of
Aboriginal rock carvings here.
- NUCCALEENA
Thirty kilometres from Blinman, this mine once promised to be
the most productive in the northern Flinders Ranges. A number of
substantial stone buildings appeared in 1860, most still stand. The
first steam engine used in this area was brought to Nuccaleena. A
devastating three-year drought ended the mine's operations in 1866.
