Well we awoke at 1.30am on our 2nd
night to a rustling sound coming from the annexe and I actually thought OMG!
someone’s into our belongings, I nudged Mark, and said “someone’s out there”,
he jumps up and I shine the torch out the window to see the biggest grey
Kangaroo, eating something, Mark tries to move it along as it was actually
eating our map, we knew never to leave any food out, but a map, I thought
wouldn’t taste all that good. We found out it was the big daddy kangaroo. I
asked for another map at reception and they said “I guess the kangaroo ate it”
how did you guess, it happens all the time.
Today we drove to different lookouts to
view the sceneries of the magnificent Flinders Ranges; it was cold and windy
today though. We also checked out other campsites that were in the northern
Flinders ranges and drove along a rocky creek bed and saw the biggest red gum
trees we have seen growing in the dry creek beds.
Again in the afternoon Mark, Dylan and
Oliver took off on another walk to Arkaroo Rock, which has Aboriginal
paintings. This took them 2 hours and on their return collected some firewood
outside of the National Park, as firewood collection is prohibited in the park
and Dylan was so looking forward to a warm open fire to sit around. Our last
night in the Flinders Ranges was enjoyed sitting around a campfire toasting
marshmallows. Bed was in sight around 9.30pm and by the time we got inside the
tent the kangaroo’s were out again sniffing around the campfire or actually
enjoying the warmth from it.
