Much of the information will be very similar although the new site is navigated in a different manner which I hope you will find easier.


Outback Jack

Outback Jack
A great personal site about the outback. Find information on the Australian outback, recipes, stories, kids pages, colour in drawings, things to do and see with lots of photos. 

An excerpt from one of the pages "I suppose you are wondering what makes me an expert on all of this. Nothing really, except maybe the fact that I have had 28 different addresses, lived in 4 states (comotose, semicomotose - just kidding) of Australia - Northern Territory, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia., and also lived and travelled overseas. "



Thank You

On behalf of Quorn and the ratepayers of this council area I wish to say thank you to The Flinders Ranges Council for having provided hosting for five years from 1998 to 2003 for some of the above sites along with other temporary sites used for specific functions. I believe the display of information about travel facilities and attractions in this area has been of great benefit to those wishing to travel here. I trust that we can enjoy the high level of exposure with this new site as that we  previously had on The Flinders Ranges Council site.
