We woke up today and packed up quickly given we didn't
unhitch last night. The decision was to do a couple of walks and move on to
Rawnsley Park Station only 30k down the road but everybody raves about it...Nat
was happy to stay, it was a nice campground but there was no handsoap in the
abolition block and that irritates me when you pay good money.
We walked 4kms to Hills Homestead and then on to Wongara
Lookout which was 720m in altitude. Add 865m at Uluru and we have done some
mountain climbing in the last 3 days.
Breathtaking views, this place certainly lives up to all expectation. Some
interesting historical detail about the homestead, who lived there, what they
did to make a dollar and what happened to them. You will have to find out what
when you come here but it is an interesting read.
Mav was blowing up and didn't want to walk anymore so we
caught the shuttle bus back to the Visitor Centre and moved on to Rawnsley Park
Station.
We should have stayed where we were, whilst it is a Top
Tourist and cheaper, it is more exposed and blowing a gale today. Not as much
shade as where we were and noisier. Oh well, I should have listened to
Nat...& I bet there is no soap in the dunny here too!
On the upside we will have an afternoon of rest, do the
self 4wd track tomorrow through the station which is $45 but takes in some
magic views, then in the afternoon we plan to hire bikes and go for a family
ride.
I have all of the firewood chopped and ready to go with
the help of my boys, stubbie in hand and dips and chips on hand. Doesn't get
any better and we don't know how we will go back to work...
