Wilpena Pound

The weather is warming up here. I guess in a few weeks I will regret asking for hot weather. We are at Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges SA. Yesterday Alex and I flew over the pound and surrounding ranges and salt lakes.. very spectacular. We have also done some hikes and lots of mountain biking as that trails are great. The park is full of kids and we have found a big screen to watch the AFL this arvo all punters here are ST Kilda fans though!!! sorry Labbads we will cheer loud for you here.. go the crows!
Lots of wildlife and even more flowers. We think we will can the OOdnadatta idea as BB is afraid of rattling the Winny too much after the rains. Instead we think we maight go to Parachilna and some gorges then back down to Melrose which is north of the Clare and through to Coober Pedy via Pt Augusta and Woomera as people here say there is lots to do that way and some wineries etc..
Now some photos firstly for the mad max fans the cars they use. We think there is a new film being made here at Silverton as there is a lot of activity aty the moment. Also of our campsite at Wilpena complete with life's drugeries   washing and a photo of the Pound.
