Station Well

We got up relatively early this morning so we could get to the foot of devil's peak at 06:30. This should allow enough time to make it to the peak before sunrise.
The hike up the to the peak was a bit technical so it was good to wear hiking boots.
At the peak I found a found a route called Nerve Test, so I obviously took that, and enjoyed the sunrise. Luckily everyone made it to the top before the sun appeared on the horizon.
On the hike back Aina and I talked about the pros and cons of group travel. We have slightly different views, but also agree on some aspects.
After the hike we drove back, packed lunches and picked up the snoozers.
We drove to Kanyaka a former settlement, but as it is north of Goyder's line they didn't make it and it's now crumbling away.
From Kanyaka we drove to Hawker to fix a tire on the trailer.
After we had the tire fixed we drove to Wilpena National park for lunch before finally driving towards Beltana Sheep Station. It was a bumpy ride on gravel roads but the Flinders ranges were beautiful, and has that red colour associated with Australia.
At Beltana we went to the pool, but after an hour I went for a walk. It was quite hot, and even though I wore sun screen I got some mild burns.
We had a beautiful barbecue dinner, then we saw the sunset and I went tired to bed.
However I got up again to go star gazing as we have very little light pollution here, so cool to see the milky way.Read more
