The Flinders Ranges

The Flinders Ranges - 9th – 12th April

After a long drive we found a camp spot in the Flinders. This is an amazing place that is a welcome sight on the eyes after not much to look at from the road. It is an ancient mountain range that has been sculpted by the weather. We had a lovely drive through the gorges to our camp. We were expecting it to be quite busy over the Easter period but found the camp ground almost empty and had our pick of spots.

We had a day walking into Wilpena Pound which is a like a large creator with a flat piece of land and mountains all around the outside, learning about the people who use to live in the home stead here and work off the land. We explored all around the couple of gorges and some old ruins. We really enjoyed being here and we even got to see a rare yellow footed rock wallaby as we left. A thoroughly amazing place, we were sad to leave but as always never enough time and have to move on. Next was up to Marree and the Birdsville track.
