Water Holes

We're still in Arkaroola here at one of the many water holes which actually have water in them post the unusual rainfall the area had. Today we went to a station that has reverted to a sanctuary for flora/ fauna called Warraweena, via the ghost town of Beltana, we will return here on another visit, much on offer for those looking for real bush solitude. For those concerned about hairy legs, I had to wax Annie's legs today. By all reports I may have just entered a new career path.

Views from Arkaroola

We walked up the mountain opposite, and we could see Lake Fromme to the east, curve with the horizon, north to south.

Arkaroola

We spent 6 nights at Arkaroola bush walking and 4WDriving. I had my 1st experience as driver - Griz was very patient. We were both in awe when we came across the rare sighting of a yellow footed rock wallaby.

These guys can go up & down near vertical rock faces.

Going Bush

We set off on our 1st bush camp (no amenities) to Arcoona in the north western Flinders Ranges, where we camped alone. The next day on our walk this is who we came across; 2R wedge tail eagles who saw us well before we saw them!

From here we went onto Grindell's hut and then onto Arkaroola

Train spotting.

If train spotters hold their breath when they see a train go past then this is a place to avoid, 161 carrages & three locos should see them blue, toes up at the side of the line thinking they should have stuck to needle craft. We have just seen another draw, Annie made me go to the Leigh Creek Hotel, for just 1 beer, only to see calt/ess draw, that's 3 draws from 4 of the last games I have watched, soccer is more exciting.

We saw a cloud today. 14-26 deg here, hope you are all  bringing the turtle knecks out of the vaccumed sealed bags, should see the first sub max 10 degree day anytime soon I rekon.

Parachilna

Here's Andrew enjoying a beer. Dinner was spectacular. Andrew had the mixed grill - emu, camel & kangaroo and I had the best steak I've ever had, all washed down with a local red.
