Seasons Change
There has been a dramatic change between waking up in King’s Canyon yesterday and Port Augusta this morning. Only a couple days ago we were hot and sweating in the desert and now we’re wearing hoodies and sweats trying to keep warm. We’re thinking we’ve seen the last of our +30°C days. The air temperature is a lot cooler, and feels more like a summer day back home. Nonetheless, we headed off into the outback section of South Australia to an area known as Flinders Ranges. Once we arrived at the National Park, we were informed that because of the amount of rain received, that much of the park walking tracks have been closed due to flooding and the ranger advised that the few remaining sections that were still open would have limited to non-existant visibility because of the cloud cover.
We were determined to see what we could of the ranges and went ahead on the Wangara walking trail up to see the Wilpena Pound. We started off in a light drizzle of rain but by the time we reached the lookout the drizzle had reached a full on downpour. We found that it’s best to make the most of these situations and we took a picture anyways. On the return trek down from the lookout, the trail was starting to flood. We made double time back to the car and drove down to the city of Adelaide.
Along the drive, Willy spotted a baby lamb on the other side of the fence from its mom and decided to go back and place it on the correct side of the fence. His heroic efforts will not be forgotten because he saved the little new born lamb.
