Dust stings the air as the convoy leaves the coast and climbs into the red-ochre crest of the Flinders Ranges. The 4WD hums over corrugated stations and into Pichi Richi Pass, where stone ribs of the ranges stand like an old guard. By dusk, eagles quarter the sky and camp fires take on a ritual rhythm; the scrub seems to lean in, watching.
