First up we were both firmly convinced that today was Friday. Does this mean we have started to escape the treadmill? It wasn't until we were in the Pub for tea that the reality of Saturdays Advertiser corrected this impression. Although we were up relatively early at 730am we didn't start packing until 900am. After 4 hours of packing we finally left Wilpena at around 2pm and travelled the sealed road to Blinman before branching off the bitumen through Parachilna Gorge exiting the western rim of the Wilpena geosyncline to Parachilna. We threw the swag down in the basic but adequate camping park ($7.50 pp/night)and then proceeded to the Prairie Hotel which has feral food as it's theme. Meal was excellent as was the wine. Susan had beef cheeks (that was her meal not a facial affliction) whilst i had a mixed grill of camel sausage,emu mignon and kangaroo fillet. We are looking forward to several days on the road. Hopefully the weather will hold and the roads remain open!
Cheers Simon and Susan
