We stayed at the Quorn RV Park, a great little spot, a short walk from town. It is next to the farm Quorn Pioneer Machinery Society, which houses old farm machinery. Across the road is the bush tucker walk, where you can learn how Aboriginal people use these plants for medicinal purposes and in their everyday diet.
In the evening we walked to the Quorn Transcontinental Hotel for dinner before the light show. The menu offered a great variety of meals, which made it hard to choose. I went for the salt and pepper squid, while Mark decided on the beef schnitzel with a Hawaiian topper. The portions were generous, and we didn’t eat it all! The Quorn Silo Light show is a free starlit audiovisual celebration of local stories and heritage, such as the Flinders Ranges and the Pichi Richi Railway.
A must-do in Quorn is to visit the wire warriors at the war memorial in Quorn, South Australia. Ivan Lovett designed and created these truly unique sculptures. (Since 2006, Ivan’s work has received numerous awards and is featured in Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not” museums across the USA, UK, and Australia.)
We took a leisurely walk around town, then stopped at the coffee and tea house. We were glad we did; they had many teas, delicious cakes, and coffee.
