Here's something you dont see everyday.
Located in the local service station is a Seismograph.
The day before we arrived they were hit by a magnitude 4 earthquake.
You can see the pen shook off the drum.
Happy to report there was no damage.
There is a strange circular building in Hawker.
It houses huge wall paintings by the Artist Jeff Morgan.
These are huge paintings on a large wall.
It is viewed from a platform in the centre of the circular gallery.
On 30 June 2001, the round Panorama building foundations were laid with bricks following on the 11 September. A ring beam, a roof and many laborious hours later the exterior was almost complete. Three days before Christmas and the interior wall was finally ready and Jeff began to draw up the grid squares ready for the initial sketching of the mammoth painting. As if 'an Invisible Hand had taken over' (to quote Jeff), momentum picked up and within ten hours all sketching was completed.
This same momentum seemed to be unstoppable and 13 months later (4000 hours of work) the Wilpena Panorama was completed on 13 January 2003.
