Such a beautiful spot here in the gorge we’ve decided we’re staying another night. So today is catch up day.
First we sorted out all the school work stuff then it’s off to school for Sean for 3 hours of spelling and maths work.
Down to the creek to get some water and Rosie had some fun (however all good things must come to an end) after which a bath was required.

Then Sean and I went for a 4wd while mum cleaned up the van. We found a cool track so come back and got mum then took her up the track.
We decided to take the road back to Blinman via Glass Gorge – quite a pretty drive (but wouldn’t tow the van that way. Then had a good look at the mine at Blinman before topping up some supplies and back to camp.
Also found a spot that marks the start of the Heysen Trail which finishes on the south coast of South Australia. Sean and I both agreed we would need 2 water bottles for this 1200km stroll – maybe another day.
Had a lovely fireside drink with our new friends Neville and Bev while the dogs had a great playtime together and the sun lit up the landscape behind our camp.
Neville and Bev are leaving in the morning to go to Rawnsley Park Station where we’ve just come from. After that they intend to go to Lake Eyre South so we might even run into them again. Even though they are retired in their late sixties it was so easy talking to them and we had much in common – Sean joined in the conversation as well and we all enjoyed this time together.
