Magnetic Hill is one of those spots in the outback that makes you question if the laws of physics even apply anymore. The sign details a strange phenomenon where gravity reverses… or so it seems! They claim it only works with steel cars, not with plastic or aluminium cars. It clearly pushes for a place…
It’s hard to describe the feeling of seeing the “Bakery Baking Today” sign at the turn-off to the Farina Historic Township, in the middle of the South Australian Outback.

It’s the perfect place to stop along the section of the Princes “Highway” (an overgenerous description) that passes through the Coorong – the longest, thinnest National Park in Australia! Even though…
I’m a lighthouse lover from waaay back. There’s something about those clean lines against the dramatic coastline that makes my shutter-button finger itch!
