Day 25 - 18th May 2010
Our tents were extremely wet this morning but we had to pack them up wet as we wanted an early start. Hit the track and headed south, south east towards Marree then into the Flinders Ranges hoping to see water in some of the creeks and rivers. We passed through Farina, Lyndhurst, Copley, Leigh Creek and Parachilna but all the rivers were dry. Took the scenic route through Glass Gorge towards Blinman (a pretty little town) and found a camping site – Dingly Dell which we called home for the night. Sat around soaking up the cold air until Rob lit the fire and we thawed out a little before eating our meal. I think it will be an early night tonight as the wood isn’t going to last long. Had a visit from a contract shooter who was out culling feral animals. We were a little concerned when we saw the lights and heard the shots, but he reassured us he wouldn’t shoot us! Reports of frost in the morning are not a welcoming thought, but the stars are out and a glorious night sky.
