Gidday all,

Arrived at Blinman, a small outback town with a pub and café, we stopped at the pub as it was lunchtime. Had a nice lunch served by a French backpacker who was working there for a couple of months.

Back to the bitumen for a bit going through the Central Flinders Ranges, didn’t hang long as it’s still school holidays and everyone has gone camping there.

Came into Hawker, a larger size town but still small. Filled up with fuel and water then found a small shop and topped up with some basic supplies. Then decided to leave the bitumen and head onto Orroroo further south, along station roads.

 

Came across our new trailer along the road. Backed up to it and then the station owner turned up and asked if we were lost, I smiled and said no, just wanted to get a photo of the dray. We had a chat and he left us to it.

 

Small town along the way has a claim to fame as having a giant red gum, 10.9m around the trunk, they say it’s 500 years old.

 

Up the road, some bush art, creative people around here.

Wanted to find a place to hold up for the weekend as the school holidays are finished this weekend and the road will probably get busy. Found a camp at Worlds End Gorge, just south of Burra, perfect. The camp area is spaced all along the creek bank, a few campers up one end so we headed to the other end. Set up camp and put the corned beef on the fire to cook.
