She's red and dusty out here, Burra, 4th May

Well we have reached the town of Burra today, we really feel like we are getting into the outback now. Our first night of national park camping, not a person in sight, red dust everywhere and a fly up my nose as I try and drink tea and write this post. It's also getting warmer, more of a desert temp, although I'm sure it will still be double Kathmandi jacket weather tonight as the temp drops suddenly before nightfall. The kids got a bit of a thrill today as we had to drive the car onto a barge to cross the Murray river at a place called Cadel. We saw our first mob of foreign speaking backpackers, so it's mostly travellers from here on end. The one finger wave from the steering wheel is a sign we are moving into outback territory. We are going to try and make it to the southern Flinders Ranges in the next couple of days. The big drawcard there is Wilpena Pound. Interesting trivia : my I-phone changes to local time automatically, Adelaide is 30mins behind.How cool is that or creepy depending on your point of view? Our Apple devices have served us well so far (not that they need more free plugs!) Till next time...
