| Steamtown
Peterborough is a preservation society which keeps a few steam trains
running on 90km of scenic track between Eurelia and Orroroo; for times
(usually only on a few holidays) enquire at the information centre
in a restored train carriage on Main Street (daily 9am–4pm; tel 08/8651
2708).
Small-scale gold prospectors bring their finds to
be processed and refined here at the state’s only Gold Battery,
which can be viewed by appointment (tel 08/8651 2969). YUNTA, 100km
further, is a collection of roadhouses and services at the start of a
backdoor route into the Flinders Ranges;
it’s 300km of gravel road from here to Arkaroola,
200km to Hawker. |
