Flinders Ranges
We detoured from our itinerary to take in the Flinders Ranges. Taking the off-road track through the national park we drove through to gorges. Photos don't do the views justice. A South Australian local made comment that this is the first time in his lifetime he has ever seen the area green. He would have seen a few decades through the area.
Oodnadatta Track
Making tracks across the Oodnadatta we covered some rugged terrain between Williams Creek to Oodnadatta. Made up for it with a cold one at the local in Oodnadatta. Stinkiest pub around, but the drinks were cold and the publican was up for a chat. Thank god the weather has been good to us. The publican was telling us that the place was flooded in for 5 weeks. Being stuck there for 5 weeks would make me put the "princess shoes" (apparently I brought some with me but yet to find them) on and be on the 1st plane available out of there. Place has character but not somewhere I'd be parking for too long, not even to camp the night.
Coward Springs was a great spot. The whole way along till we got there Damian was "I went to this spring along here somewhere wouldn't mind calling into there" problem was he couldn't recall the name and it was over 15 years ago. Getting late in the day and it was our best choice to call into this place called "Coward Springs", then the memory came back. "This was the place it's got palm trees!" It was a cool spot in the middle of no where. That was the fun about the track you really felt away from civilisation and in the middle of no where. Nice. Rate it!
