Travel along the Old South Road, taking in the rugged beauty of the Finke River and hearing stories of the historic telegraph line that once connected remote settlements across the Red Centre. Step back in time at the Ewaninga Aboriginal Rock Carvings, where the ancient petroglyphs of the Arrernte people whisper stories of a rich and enduring culture.
