After a massive repack, washing and shopping and final catchup via Adelaide, we set our sights towards the Ikara Flinders Ranges. After a lateish departure we decided not to camp, so instead took a basic cabin at Port Pirie for the night. It was raining on arrival but by the morning the sun had returned and we set off towards the central part of the ranges. Stops at Quorn at the tourist office and the Picci Ricci railway and then a lunch stop and fuel at Hawker before heading into the scenic ranges landscape, our first glimpse of the ranges. We have decided to stop at Rawnsley Park for 4 nights to make the most of the 4wd tracks and options available in the area. Campsite is nice with large camp kitchen and even a small store for supplies. Seems like a good base to explore the area from. Currently listening to the birds and watching the sun bathe and dip behind the ranges as the sun from the day dissapears. Might be time for some slippers and a glass of wine 🙂
