Gawler Ranges National Park
Last night was beautiful, incredibly peaceful and the most
amazing stars! Our day started with the
Waganny Campground Trail, this walked through open countryside for quite some
time before climbing up to a rocky outcrop with terrific views. We saw heaps of kangaroos on this walk. We then drove to Old Paney Homestead, which
is in excellent condition, and had a look around. Next stop was the Organ Pipes, we saw a male
emu with eight “teenage” chicks with him, running madly around the salt
bush. The last part of the 4WD track in
was roughed up from the recent rain. The
Organ Pipes is a large rock amphitheatre with columns of rock in clumps, with
the clumps on varying angles – quite unusual!
After lunch we packed down and drove to the Shearer’s Quarters, and then
in the directions of Whyalla. We went to
Point Lowly, however it was too windy for comfortable camping, so we are
staying at Fitzgerald Bay instead.
