We hit the road from Kings Canyon in good time, mid morning and fill the Nissan up at a cost of $2.30/L!!! Bloody hell hey.... The worst thing about the drive from Uluru to Kings Canyon then back out to Eldunda is that you have to double back all the time, you can't just drive to the places in a loop. As we head out on the Lassiter highway we drive up to this woman who flagged us down to stop. Their tyre on the back of their 1970's caravan had come completely of...

We all had a good night sleep last night thank god, no interruptions by little girls needing the loo which was great. So with that came found energy and we were packed up ready to go by 8:30am. An early start for us these days. We drove over to the Marree Roadhouse to fuel up but they were out of power and it wouldn't be cranked up for another half hour (apparently they just switched to solar and it ran out or something??). Anyhow, Marty wasn't keen to wait and l...

Today was the day we set off hoping to make it to Marree which is the start of the Oodnadatta Track. We had had a sleepless night inbetween taking girls to the toilet and then having to listen to husband snoring until eventually fell back to sleep to start it all over again. Before l knew it it was morning. What should have been an early start ended up taking a while longer with setting off around 10am. We found out the Parachilna Gorge road was closed which was...

Well the forecast was right, we awoke to grey clouds and it was so cold compared to the 33oC we had yesterday. We were planning on doing another walk but after Meg's efforts yesterday and the weather we changed our minds. Instead we were going to head up to the northern Flinders Ranges and explore some 4WD tracks. We'd originally planned to do a drive at Willow Springs until we found out it would cost $75! Instead we found some PAR (public access roads) to do whi...

Today we woke up brisk and ready for our morning walk. We set off to a popular walk of Flinders Ranges, the Arkallola Rock Walk. It was a two hour return walk and because it was hot in the arvo yesterday we thought we should get it done in the morning, being cooler and all. So this walk was going to show us some more aboriginal rock carvings, this time a serpentine snake which represented the area around Wilpena. It was a nice morning for it but l think Meg had ...
