Description
Last Blast of Sun - The Breakaways, South Australia by Lexa Harpell.
A short sharp blast of the red sun lit up a tree and the tip of the lanscape.
The Breakaways are a series of multi coloured flat-topped mesas in the semi arid desert in the Kanku-Breakaways Conservation Park about 35kms north of the opal mining town of Coober Pedy in South Australia.
Although not overly large rock formations, their striking appeal are their patchwork of multi colours of sandstone and rising out of a large flat surrounding landscape.
The area was once a massive inland sea with fossils to explore, now home to native flora and fauna surviving in the desert area.
Sunset from the high ground is the most popular for visitors - although I found sunrise the most fascinating lighting up the many varied formations whilst driving on the flat grounds.
