Mum Today we decided to spend a bit more time around the Rawnsley Station. Turns out they have an orienteering course so the kids ran that and earned a sticker for completing the short course. Then we explored a bit more of the area with a walk up to Kangaroo Pass out the back of camp. Olivia even got in some clarinet practice this morning.
Later in the day we headed out for a drive along the Moralana Scenic Drive then circled back to Hawker on our way back to our campsite.

Mum Up early we headed into the National Park today. Our first stop was Wilpena Pound and a walk out to Hills Homestead along the dry creek beds lined with the beautiful old red river gum trees.
Once back at the car we continued north stopping at several of the view points and walks including Cazneaux Tree, Hucks Lookout, and Stokes Lookout.
We saw lots of birds today - including a very large flock of galahs (pink and grey), emus, ringneck parrots (bright green), apostlebirds (dark grey) and plenty that I didn't get photos of!
To finish off a great day, we had our first campfire of the trip and of course roasted marshmallows for dessert.

Mum Today we hit the road heading north to the Flinders Ranges National Park. It was another long day of driving (411 km) to get to Rawnsley Park Station (just south of Wilpena Pound). We rolled in just before sunset.
After dinner we made sure to have our own 70s dance party since the kids were missing their school disco tonight. We didn't have any 70s themed clothes so they stuck with oodies instead.
