After leaving Broken Hill we traveled as far as Peterborough and camped at a rest area east of the town. As we'd headed to SA we had to forfeit our fruit and veg including one of our home grown (unripe) avocados. At least we found some friendly people to pass it on to!Somewhere along the road we spotted Amelia Park - so that was another photo opportunity! ( below left)
Saturday 14th August we did a big shop and headed to Hawker for lunch before the last stretch of driving to Wilpena Pound.
We decided to stay at the Wilpena Pound campground which has very nice facilities. There were lots of emus and wallabies roaming around much to the kid's delight.
On Sunday the 15th we did the Mount Ohlssen Bagge walk which took us up some steep terrain to breathtaking views.
After sitting in the car for a few days the 7km walk was quite bracing.
Above left the kids can be seen in a huge River Red Gum at the beginning of the Ohlssen Bagge walk. John, Fabian and Milly did a big run/cycle along the Hills Homestead track the next morning and later on the same day I was able to do a short walk with Amelia (milly) and Bro along the Drought Busters Trail.
Bro and I both did a linocut of a grass tree of which there are many lovely examples along the track. See more photos by clicking on the photo below,
