Day 22 - Pt Broughton to Rawnsley Stat

Well another 4 deg start to the day, my weather app advised that it felt like 1 deg....I agreed and stayed in my warm bed.

I packed up the inside while Wayne battled the cold outside, thanks honey. All done ready to top up our water which was $4 for 80 ltrs at the RV Park, of course it didn't work so waited for the owner to come and fix, all good, got the water filled, power was fully charged so ready for the dreaded 'Devils Suitcase' - again, thanks honey.

On the road to Rawnsley Park Station in the Flinders Rangers, what a beautiful drive, after days of flat dead paddocks of wheat and barley there were mountains, trees, and lots of animals (alive and dead) but heaps to see.

Driving up the West side of Yorke Peninsular you look across to Eyre Peninsular, check out the clouds.

After having no wildlife for days we had 2 Emus who tried to die, and 2 cars that were also trying to kill themselves and us, definitely got our hearts racing.

Went through Port Pirie, Quorn, Pitchi Richi Railway, Hawker then into the Park. Pretty disappointed here, charged us $32 per night for Bush Camp with no amenities or power, no level sites and too many trees to navigate through safely.

It took us 2 hours to finally find a spot that we could live with, just finished setting up camp and Sandy arrived, she was easy, found a spot, locked the door and came over for a glass of bubbly to celebrate.

I had prebooked dinner at 'The Woolshed' which has a great reputation, it was good food and good service, expensive but with the afternoon we had endured, we didn't care....nearly had our first fight trying the find a campsite.

Back to camp but took us half an hour to find our caravan, a lovely lady that was camped near us finally ran out and asked us if we had lost our camp....how embarrassing, she told us where we were situated. Really shit set up with roads running in every direction and no way to tell the difference. Will probably be clear enough in the day light though.Read more
