Wilpena Pound - The Flinders Ranges

7/6/2011

 
We have just spent 3 beautiful days at Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges.  The weather has been warmish, a little rain but mainly at night.  The wild life in the area is amazing.  Wild emu and kangaroo abound.  The bird life is abundant.  We did a short half day walk to the old pound farm house and then up to the look out.  The next day we went on a 4WD trip around the flinders ranges and followed some of The Heysein Trail.  The weather being mild and the peaceful nature of the Flinders Ranges made for a restful stopover.  Tonight we are sitting in the Broken Hill Caravan Park, listening to millions (I mean millions) of sulphur crested cockatoos and semi trailers.  A contrast to Wilpena Pound. There was just enough rain on the trip here to stick the orange dust to the car, but not enough to wash it off.

We need to do some washing and buy some food to eat as the reserves are low.  I’m really missing banana’s.  The last time I saw them was in Burra and they were $15.99 kg.  I haven’t seen any since.   Hopefully off to Menindee lakes tomorrow.
