Lotsaflies!

Our trip north through South Australia has started....and watch out! We are headed waaaaayyyy north....almost right back to QLD! Tonight we are at Leigh Creek, a mining town 574k from Adelaide. We got here via the spectacular Flinders Ranges where we camped for 2 nights under clear, brilliantly starry skies. The pics below are all taken in and around the FR National Park, where we climbed another mountain, went 4WDing, snapped pics of some old copper mine and met up with the locals....mostly of the reptilian and insect species. Think I needed to buy a hat with corks before we got here!

'The Thinker' in action on Mount Ohlssen Bagge. This was a four hour hike on the edge of Wilpena Pound. 

One of the many locals we shared the mountain with. Very friendly!

Looking back over the Pound towards the southern ranges.

North of the National Park headed out to the ruins. Bare, rocky landscapes of the sheep stations. Saw a few emus and lots of kangaroos.

The Navara is still travelling well....in fact she just eats up these dry, dusty conditions.

So the fun continues and the adventure rarely stops. So much to see and plenty to do. We're both loving the trip and so thankful we have made it to week 8! Might be a while until you next hear from us because we're about to tackle the Simpson Desert!
