    Isn’t it lovely when you meet someone truly positive! There’s something about trains and train stations - it seems to bring out the best in people. Naracoorte has wunnderful caves - full to busting with fossils of thylacaleos and diprotodons and other cool stuff. If your itinerary permits, a visit to the caves is a MUST! Or a second visit just to do that …

    EDIT: forgot to mention the mihirungs. Which are awesome. @AlamutJones’s Chook would be jealous.

      Unfortunately we didn’t have time to stop in at Naracoorte, we’re already kinda pushing our time a bit, and we come back a different way. But thanks for the recco, I’ll keep it in the back of my mind until I’m out this way again!

      Btw what are mihirungs? A bug?

        Mihirungs are walloping great mega duck like birds. Like really really big. Extinct, which is a pity. Sometimes called thunder birds or demon ducks. Up to 3 metres tall with ginormous beaks.
