Some Aboriginal cave paintings

A lone gum tree, we thought it looked nice

We climbed this hill to get reception on phone

Cooking lunch in back of car..The rock formation behind is known as Great Wall Of China..dont know why?

Everywhere we go there are little rock piles and Billy cant help himself and has to add 1 more

Perty colours

Billy is nearly as big as me. arrgg..

This is at the Praire Hotel and as we got out of car the flies went crazy by the zillion..Billy just kept dancing..

This is our camp up at Arkaroola, very nice place...no grass as you can see.

Billy got a bit cool so he jumped into bed to read..He has the best bed in the house

Dinner and a bot of red...just ruffin it

This is the start of a Ridgetop tour at Arkaroola..We went on a 4WD tour and these are just a few shots...

We went up and down some bloody big hills but it was a fantastic way to see the place..

We had morning tea on top of the hill in background

Under the blue tarp in centre of foto are several bags of cement for road repairs, so they tell us...I think it was more like the last cheeky tourist that fell out the back of the truck...they wouldnt take us over to check either..haha

Sooooo hi up

Speaks for itself

This place had too long a name to remember..it started with Noodldoona-------------

Same spot

Finished off a lovely week with a yummy coffee at Quorn..they leave there chairs outdoors all the time cause it hasnt rained in 10 million yrs Thank you Flinders Ranges we had a ball..

 

Port Germein

This is the Longest wooden jetty in Australia..1.65km long and we walked it up to 3 times a day to go and hunt and gather

This is low tide and a lone tractor left waiting for the fishing boat to come back in..

AND this is one of the tractors.. they look so funny when the tide is in and they tow the boats in up to a metre of water..you dont see the wheels

Our campsite at Port Germein Caravan Park straight opposite the jetty..

Some of the catch

Some more of the catch

LUNCH is cleaned and cooked and ready to go yum yum

Must remember bigger dinner plates to fit the fish next time

Not a bad effort hey??? In this nights catch we also had 19 blue swimmer crabs and 4 squid
