2013-08-01 Day 19,
Flinders Ranges to
BurraThis morning we followed the Geological Trail across the
Flinders Ranges, then down to
Wilpena Pound. Jan has never been to
Wilpena Pound and she wanted to sus out the place with a view to coming back here at a later date. We had planned to come here over 25 years ago, but Jan found herself unexpectedly in hospital and we never did get there. The
Flinders Ranges in general, however, is a magnificent place with so much to see and explore; Jan is already planning an extended trip there.
We passed through a number of smaller and larger towns on our way to
Burra, not stopping anywhere long enough to explore the localities. We are camped in the
Burra show grounds tonight, lots of green grass and lots of room to pitch our tents.
Les did not make it to
Burra last night, but did arrive around three today. He is staying at a pub and Jamie is joining him tonight. All ten of us got together for tea, for a last supper.
Tomorrow we split, with Peter and Jean, and Jan and I heading down to
Hahndorf before travelling back to
Melbourne, to arrive
home Saturday afternoon.
Damian and Martin, and Stephen and Bev are planning to travel back via
Berri,
Mildura, again for a planned
home arrival of Saturday, but that may change.
Les and Jamie will be travelling
home via various
places in this area of the world, including
places whose names I have not heard before so cannot remember them to repeat here.
