Burra to Flinders Ranges


Our Trip from Burra to Flinders Ranges started out at 9.30am and we were heading to Wilpena Pound camping ground. Along the way we stopped for supplies at Peterborough, Kids are getting used to being in the car for a while now. We arrived at Wilpena Pound at around 1.15pm. Setting up took us a little longer, who knows why but we better get quicker at. Mark said now we’ve set up I’m concerned how long it will take to pack up. We shouldn’t be worrying about packing up when we just got here. Within half an hour of being here, we turned around and there was a kangaroo trying to get into our food, as we had just had sandwiches. Lily screamed, as she’d never seen a live kangaroo. We all joked that c’mon Lily you barrack for the Kangaroo’s, Mark had to basically shoo and push the Kangaroo away as he got his head stuck under our chair. Dylan is taking so many photos of Kangaroo’s.
Night started early with it being dark by 6pm and then the cold started to set in. It was freezing so, you just hope into bed to warm up. I have the best gift given to me from mum and Georgia before we left; it’s a heated blanket. I hear everyone laugh but it’s the best invention, plug it in and it heats up and I basically hog it all night and leave it on high. Its not an electric blanket, but a snuggle blanket. Asleep early again all cosy and warm with thermals, heater and the heated blanket.
