Flinders Ranges-Wilpena Pound..Bridget turns 7

Hi there, We are now in Flinders Ranges at Wilpena Pound. It's a busy place, lots of travellers, we've given up trying to keep clean, so we are looking like outback bushwackers already, with all the red dirt. We have been on some nice walks, the kids made it all the way up Mt Ohlsen Bagge, a good 4hr climb. Did another shorter walk today and looked into Wilpena pound, amazing landscape and ranges, great rocks and cliffs and fascinating ancient place.The kids liked learning about the Aboriginal animal tales of the area. It's our third night here, so we will head off to the Gammon Ranges tomorrow, a few hours north.Lots of wildlife to be seen around the campsite, emus, kangaroos, birds etc ( they are used to being fed by the campers)It was Bridget's 7th birthday yesterday, Jules even managed to make a chocolate cake in the camp oven. The kids took one bite and declared it 'smoky' and ate the smarties off the top, not quite outback kids yet...

  1. Happy birthday Bridge! Looking good babes, though I don't fancy doing your hair by the end of the trip, sorry! I take it the hair straighener didn't fit in the bag? :)
    Well done on the 4 hour walk, chocolate cake well-deserved.
    Where's all the pictures of you Kylie?!

    1. Hi Jen, I'm hiding from photos, my outback style is looking a bit dishevelled
