Flinders Ranges

Catch up with cleaning and washing this morning as most of our neighbours departed. Thursday seemed to be a major moving day here. We headed off on another, shorter, walk to the top of a local mesa with great views to Wilpena Pound. We also remembered to take our fly nets on this walk and it made the whole experience much more enjoyable. A lazy afternoon was spent washing the car at the donation only car-wash on site. It really did need it, as does the van, but we couldn't drag that down to the car-wash bay. Confirmed the slow leak in the tyre and also realised we are missing one of the tyre pressure monitoring sensors and also a shackle pin. Lesson learnt about driving on dirt/gravel roads. Things vibrate and if even a little loose to start with, they will disappear in a cloud of dust. I had a spare shackle pin but I'm not sure if the sensor can be replaced as they come in a set that are programmed to report pressure in a particular order. Will have to call Safety Dave to find out.Read more
