• Heading Bush Day 1 - Warren Gorge

    April 10, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Here goes ... Day 1 of my 10 day 4WD bush adventure from Adelaide to Alice Springs with the wonderful http://headingbush.com.au/

    We had our intro to the van and our first 'all hands on deck' picnic lunch with washing up in 2 bowls at Port Germein which used to have the longest pier in the world until the end section burnt down.

    Stopped at Lake Lochiel, pink from bacteria.

    Took a lovely short but energetic walk in Mount Remarkable National Park. Saw kookaburras and red river gum trees, known as 'widow makers' because of the way the branches can break off apparently spontaneously - first bush lesson: don't sleep under one.

    First rock wallaby, but I got an even better pic on Day 2 😎

    Had our first experience of sleeping in the bush, in the beautiful Warren Gorge.
