We had that last moon lit night at Angrochina Village and packed early because we expected a hot day - yes we could have stayed longer - there is much to see, the mountains are old and yet noble - with colour and texture and form and stance - need I go on. The Parachilina Gorge offered some very fine camp spots but without services of any kind - in some places there was still water in the creek. In all places the road was very good so we zoomed along happily...

Departed Trizona Campground around 10.30am and the day was already starting to heat up. We poked along up to Blinman and had a quick look around. We did have an early lunch and then started the run through to Parachilna. The road is gravel but at the moment is in excellent condition, Ernie was quite happy hanging on behind Gertie. When we came down the range into the start of the Parachilna Gorge the mountains were just inspiring, with the sediments folded i...

Trezona Camp Site We landed in camp about 2.45pm and set up camp at a rather slow pace. Not much later a car came scouting around the camp ground and then disappeared.

We are camped at Port Augusta Big 4 - $36 a night - mmmmmm We got a two month pass to stay in almost every SA National Park for up to 5 nights for $80 - mmmmmmm It is warm today and we are hop...

Night one we caught a storm after what ended as a hot day. Like each storm here so far, lots of blow and bluster but not much in the rainfall department. We woke to a cooler morning, so we packed our rucksacks and headed of for an 18k round trip to Hidden Gorge. A beautiful walk up the creek, with large red river gums in a 100 different shapes and sizes. The birds in this place are many and varied, so Sue was never sure which lens to have on her camera. W...
