pg 6 Johnburgh Loop Self-Drive This self drive loop is approximately an 80km round trip. Leaving Orroroo, head toward Carrieton either via the bitumen direct to Carrieton or turn onto the Johnburgh Road via Bendleby Ranges (map available from the Visitors Information Centre or website www. visitorroroo.com.au). Follow the roadside green and white tourist signs for an adventure through Oladdie Hills, pastoral country, historic townships, ruins and cemeteries. Don’t forget to call into the community general store at Carrieton to refuel, replenish or just to have an enjoyable chat with locals. Recommendation: grab a copy of the Stones & Rail CD from the Visitors Information Centre. Magpie Historical Trail Step back in time as you wander around Orroroo’s picturesque Main Street and township, noting buildings and businesses dating back to the 1800’s. This trail gives you the opportunity to step back in time and perhaps locate some of the towns many Geocaches, and hopefully spot a magpie or two. Map guides available from the Visitors Information Centre and the website www. visitorroroo.com.au Yanyarrie Whim View the remains of this large stone tank on the outskirts of Carrieton. It became a significant watering hole for drovers using the north to south droving route through Carrieton. Horseshoe Range Moockra Tower Take an opportunity to indulge in some magnificent views of the district from the Horseshoe Range peak at Moockra Tower. Located a short distance from Carrieton it is definitely worth the drive. Orroroo Tank Hill Lookout Water is gravitated from the concrete tank at the “lookout” to the town. From the tank there is an excellent view over the artesian basin in the valley of the Walloway Plain, the reservoir and the township of Orroroo. See if you can identify the many peaks which span the horizon. pg 6 BIG RED RAILWAY BRIDGE JOHNBURGH LOOP SELF DRIVE PEKINA CREEK LIONS PARK
