    Rawnsley Park Station

    October 12, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    We had a quick drive by the Giant Red gum at Orroroo before stopping at Hawker, one of the main entry towns to the Flinders Ranges. Quick stop at the visitors info centre then late lunch at Flinders Food Co. We shared lamb tacos and another burger, bloody good. I had a sneaky cocktail too. Ben looked up fuel prices in the area and decided to top up before moving on, especially since we were haemorrhaging fuel with the 40km winds today. A few quick photo stops - Arkaba Hill and Elder range lookout, then on to Pugilist hill. When we got to the bottom of the hill, it said 'impassable if towing', we debated unhooking the camper before I realised on our off-line maps, the 4wd track we do tomorrow overlaps pretty close, so we'll have a proper look tomorrow. We checked in at Rawnsley and went to find a campsite, we found a nice spot looking at Rawnsley Bluff, part of Wilpena Pound. We'd already decided to order takeaway pizza from the Woolshed restaurant, a km up the road where the cabins are, on the way back we stopped off at a lookout and took a few snaps. A pretty quiet night tonight again, surprisingly have some 4g, so we've been able to google/scroll do the usual things. We do have some downloaded movies and TV shows ready for when we don't have service. I've also been trying to keep up with The Block drama. Pup had quite the tantrum tonight, moody boy, it was prettu funny. We're doing the Arkepena track tomorrow before heading to Willow Springs for 2 nights.Read more
