Day 16 Wed 26 May 16, Wilpena Pound to Clare SA, 300km, showers throughout the day, 9 to 16 deg. Don't like packing up in the rain so it was nice to wake up with no pitter patter on the roof. Although moving house with a van when it's all wet is nowhere near as bad as doing it with a tent, especially if you're also carrying a pack and rifle. So with brekky under our belts we packed up and was on the road before 8:20am. Mornos was in-van homemade cake and coffee a...

Day 15 Wed 25 May 16, Flinders Ranges, one word - wet, 7 to 12 deg. Loved the sound of rain on the roof last night and this morning. In such a dry barren place it is a real blessing to hear it fall.

We were soon on a gravel road which took us through some stunning gorges, dry creek beds ...

Day 13 Mon 23 May 16, Flinders Ranges, 7 - 20 deg, fine and sunny. Not as cold here as it was on the "plains". Up early and after a nice hot brekky and a cuppa or two we set off on our first walk in the Flinders; Mt Ohlssen Bagge, which was listed in the "Hard Hike" category. "Peak at 941m, steep rocky inclines followed by rewarding views". Wendy was really looking forward to it?!@$. The spiel said allow 4 hours, but we took 3 hours without rushing so we were hap...
