We couldn’t avoid the day finally arriving, so we met it face on and early in the hopes that we could make the best of what we had to come. With toilet tents and signs loaded in the van (and friends bringing the emptied Porta Potties a little later on) we headed on out toContinue reading “SA Long Champs Wilpena Creek 11/6/23”

Rawnsley Orienteering 10/6/23
We had a lazy start to the day. The relaxation of the time was greatly affected by a phone call from one of the orienteers who rang to say that he was unable to bring the toilets which we had arranged for him to tow up from Jamestown. Unfortunately the lights on the toilets wereContinue reading “Rawnsley Orienteering 10/6/23”
Appila Springs to Rawnsley via Wilpena. 9/6/23
We were woken to the quiet mumbling of the friendly apostle birds who were scratching around with their family of five near the camper. It was chilly but not overly cloudy or raining. After a leisurely breakfast we packed up and we’re pulling out of camp just on 10 am. Our only goal was toContinue reading “Appila Springs to Rawnsley via Wilpena. 9/6/23”
Australian National Orienteering Carnival, Victoria 24/9/22 – 2/10/22

Day 2 and 3 12/6/21&13/6/21
Appila Springs was a lovely spot to explore this morning. The water was trickling over the rocks into the pools below and friendly people and dogs chatted to us as we explored briefly before heading onwards. We headed on to the Flinders, passing Eurelia (one of our favourite little towns) and arriving at Rawnsley atContinue reading “Day 2 and 3 12/6/21&13/6/21”
