Kanyaka homestead ruin by a creek with cemetery. Kanyaka was a siding on the old Ghan line. Hugh Proby was original settler of the homestead, but the grave is a long way from the later homestead settlement.
Hawker was also a on the train line and continues to be viable, though it appears the post office is closing.
Into Wilpena. Saw largest solar farm in Oz powering town (motel/resort). then off to Hucks & Stokes Hill lookouts. Returned via Brachina self guide 4wd track including small creek crossing and creek beds. It is a made path all the way but gets rough. Many kangaroos and emus in park, including emu chicks (~6 chicks with the father in several cases).
Saw dust devils forming on empty wheat fields.
