KALLAKOOPAHCREEK, S.A.
It reads to me that they found "rare fossils" AND they found "bird
species not yet recorded" AND they found "landscape sheathed by lush
beds of plants and flowers" I suppose the logical thing would be to
read the article that was published in The Weekend Australian Magazine.

peace, and an absence of the tracks of man."
