Flinders Ranges

Just after we packed up and checked out, it started to sprinkle, timed that well! We looped back 20 minutes up the road to Merna Mora Station to do the Wowee track. This is a short one but with lots of steep ascents and descents. We were out and about for 2 hours, it was a really nice way to start the morning, although I did get a bit anxious with some of the descents. Ben and Pup weren't worried though. We checked back in with the station so they knew we made it out alive and took off down the Moralana scenic drive. It cuts between the ranges and Wilpena pound. The landscape and terrain continues to change so often, it's bizarre! Once we got back on the highway, we stopped off at Hawker again, pretty hungry by this point. The Hawker hotel had some lovely spots in the sun for us. Schnitty (the regular chicken kind), and a burger with the lot. Verrry good pub feed! Back on the road for just shy of an hour to Quorn where we're staying tonight. It's a nice town, bigger than I was expecting, but still not huge at all. We set up the camper and charged up our phones/caught up on all things internet related while Pup had a nap. The caravan park backs onto the bush tucker garden so we went to have a look. Pup was confused why he was exerting energy, but I think he enjoyed the walk after been very much car bound the last few days. Ben attempted to grab a few things from the IGA, but no luck with what we were after. It's gotten verrry fresh with the cool breeze coming through. Crumbed steak and salad for dinner, then shower time. We were considering going to the Quorn Silo light show, it's on each night, they project stories and images on the silos and you can sit back and enjoy. It's a bit too cold for our liking, so we're rugging up inside instead.Read more
