Flinders Range Limesone - Brachina Gorge? 2-Jul-2010 At 10:44:13 AM Goshen

On the subject of Limestone in the Flinders; I was there last year on a short outback trip, and did a walk down Chambers Gorge (about 2h or so NE of Wilpena). All limestone, and on the whole, a truly unimaginable pile of choss! On the way in was an 80m high wall in the gorge that did have a very nice looking line, steep, and perhaps even enough protection to avoid death - but that's a guess.

However, the main feature that grabbed the eye was a high cliff up on the range. Yes, a pain to get to - but it looked VERY good - especially at the left hand end, with some clean looking walls / corners / arete's. At least 30m high (the photo is fairly foreshortened). I certainly agree with the point that Moonarie is awesome, and why would you bother, but anyway, I just wanted to share :-)
