Wow - what a big day. We started with the 50km drive to Wilpena Pound via some great lookouts of the Southern Flinders Ranges. On arrival at Wilpena, we did the Old Homestead Walk which is a nice pleasant walk to the gap in the Pound. We added on the Wangarra Hill Trek which was quite steep, but well worth the effort with views into the pound and out through the gap. About an 8km trek all up. We then decided to tackle a portion of the "Mawson Trail" which is...

Quick round of putt putt golf prior to our departure from Peterborough. Stopped at a lovely town called Orroroo - we got supplies, and stopped at the Lion's Park near the golf course for lunch. Short drive to Hawker and we checked into the Caravan Park, then went straight to the Jeff Morgan Wilpena Panorama - fantastic artwork on display, including the 360 degree painting of the Wilpena Pound. Running repairs done on my bike ready for our ride tomorrow around ...

Morning tea was at Bell's Milk Bar for a yummy soda, then we made our way towards South Australia! Quick stop at Manna Hill for lunch and back on the road. We made it just in time at the Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre at Peterborough for the last tour of the day at 3.30pm. The tour was great - with the turntable, roundhouse, lots of restor...

Quiet day today - mum did a pump class at the Temple of Fitness - loved it! While dad and the kids loved "pancake Thursday' at the caravan park! The NSWPSSA Netball Championships happened to be on at O'Neill Park and we were able to watch Mackillop take on Sydney East in the last game of the champs. Mackillop took out the title after being undefeated over the 3 days! We took a look around the main street of town, and had lunch at the Musician's Club. After ...

Started today by visiting the Broken Earth Cafe which is 50m above the city of Broken Hill so provides a wonderful view. The coffees were great too! We spent the afternoon at Silverton - had lunch at the pub, visited the Mad Max 2 Museum (the kids will love the DVD's!) which brought back lots of great memories of the movies. The Mundi Mundi lookout was amazing with the great flat plains as far as we could see. Back to Broken Hill and we made our way out to th...
