Journey to the Flinders Ranges

 

We were approx. half hour late leaving Upwey on Wednesday 5th April and then a delay on the Monash due to an incident at Punt Road (truck broken down in service lane so they closed off two lanes).  Morning tea went west, no time to stop and it was past time.  Lunch at Kyneton and then morning tea after lunch.

Our first night we stopped at Sea Lake, their caravan park is at the back of the oval on the dirt, most people seem to use it as an  overnight stop only.  We had dinner at the local pub, there is only one in town which is just one small street with a few shops. 

Thursday we left early and spent the next night at Burra, Tony did take a photo of the caravan park.

We arrived at Wilpena Pound on Friday and they couldn't find our booking, after lot of looking they found it filled out on one of their forms and not on the computer so where to put us as they are fairly booked out.  We were told to go to Bus Bay 4, got there and there was no tap for the water so I went back to the office and they finally decided we could go to Bus Bay 1 which already had people there but enough room for two vans.  Setting up took quite a bit of time and too tired to cook so we had dinner at the restaurant.

Saturday morning Tony went for a bike ride before breakfast and then mid morning we went for a walk to the Governor's House which was built in 1853.

After lunch we went for a drive on one of the tracks it was the Bunyeroo Gorge.
