Shakedown Trip (Flinders Ranges)

Seriously beautiful country... the Flinders Ranges (largest mountain range in South Australia) and Wilpena Pound (a natural amphitheatre).




Travelling down from Arkaroola through Hawker and onto Wilpena Pound we set up camp quickly at the Wilpena Pound Resort before exploring. Kangaroos roamed freely and we were able to wander around the area investigating what activities were available. Many inappropriate for young children (who currently wants carrying unless icecream bribes are immediately obtainable) we limited ourselves to short treks and drives. Here are some images from the creatures we encountered on the journey. We also saw a skink In Hawker and lots of birdlife that was way to difficult to photograph. (Amelia was very impressed with the shingleback lizard)





 
It seemed that almost every creature we encountered wanted to cross the road at exactly the same time we were driving through. And all made it safely across I must add!
