It was time to head inland again and our first destination is the Flinders Rangers. We headed north up the eastern side of Spencer Gulf past Port Pirie then onto Quorn. Quorn is truly the quintessential Australian Country Towns. A wide main street up the centre, four operating two story pubs on one side and the historic railway station on the other. It’s also a railway enthusiast’s dream as it’s the home of the Pichi Richi historic railway.

This was a bushwalking day. Mike and Jan headed up Mt. Ohlssen Bagge while Sally and I took an easier option in to the heart of Wilpena Pound to the old Hill’s Homestead and Wangarra Lookouts.

On the walk back to camp we stumbled on these interesting caterpillars, heading home I presume, as well.

Sally’s turn to cook so I left her at camp and drove to Sacred Canyon to check out an Aboriginal rock art site believed to be over 9000 years old.

Finally back to camp for dinner and drinks. Jan said the drinks were for medicimal purposes as Mike evidently tried to kill her taking Jan to the top of Mt. Ohlssen Bagge.
