Where I stayed
Wilpena Pound Resort

Flag of Australia  , South Australia,
Monday, September 6, 2010

Had a day of rest today after the mission across half the bloody country to get here. Did lots of bushwalks and visited a few lookouts. As you can see from the pics, the highlight was Huck's Lookout just a few kays down the road from Wilpena. Back at the resort we saw lots of birds including Yellow-Throated Miners which are the closest relative to our favourite little Noisy Miners from the Eastern side of Australia. The Yellow Throated Miners are almost identical in behaviour and sounds but are a bit more resilient for the arid areas. There are also heaps of emus around here, they are quite tame and let you walk straight past them. Apart from that, it's just Wallabies.

Tomorrow it's off to Arkaroola. If the roads are open there will be some 4x4 action. If not, mostly sealed until the last section.
