We drove along this road from east to west early one morning in a rented 4WD. It was the only thing we planned to do that day so we took our time and found it to be a very meaningful experience. The hIghlights included the well written explanations, the SILENCE, the trees, the yellow-footed rock wallabies (6 of them - we must have been the first car that day), the natural beauty of the gorges and the expansive plains between the western extent of the range and the Parachilna road. We did a u-turn and returned to Wilpena Pound via the Bunyeroo Gorge.

This was my second trip to the Flinders and to Sacred Canyon, my first during the rainy season when the gorges were still with water, (beautiful!) and my second this November during a dry spell. This time there were far fewer people, and at one point my partner and I were the only ones in the canyon. Amazing the experience of hearing the wind whistle through the rocks, to hear the buzzing of the wasps and flies in the waterholes, the bird calls—wow. Do try to go when there are fewer people around and walk it quietly, without conversation so that you too can experience the fullness of this place and perhaps catch a rare look at some incredible wildlife. How delighted we were to catch a glimpse of a Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby, and far more wildlife than on our first visit (September last year) when there were more tourists to scare wildlife away. If you climb any of the rocks up the sides of the canyon, watch for snakes (abundant), and be very careful not to disturb any of the flora you find. On second thought, refrain from climbing other than through the gorge trail. The aboriginal markings unfortunately have been marred and disturbed by tourists who have desecrated the sanctity of the area by scratching in their own hieroglyphics in unfortunate attempts perhaps to fool others. Shameful. There is plenty of parking and also new toilets installed. Be sure to read the signage before you enter the canyon to help you identify the meaning of the aboriginal inscriptions and also learn more about the flora you will find.
