Flinders Ranges

Just returned from spending our October long weekend in the Flinders Ranges. Here's some happy snaps from our bushwalking adventures:


We weren't even at Wilpena Pound yet....this stop-off along the way was about a 45min round trek to see some Aboriginal Cave Paintings:


Of course, Rod found "Stimpy".....or was it "Stumpy"?

Ami did tell us it was boring, but we honestly thought they'd be at least a few more solar panels.....there's half an hour we'll never get back:

We had to "give way" to this emu crossing the road:

Fishing at Zadow's Landing

Yesterday was a day the carp and yabbies feared - - yes, it was a family outing to Zadow's Landing for a few hours of fishing, yabbying and kransky's.

Zadow's landing is a little spot on the Murray between Mannum and Murray Bridge, just down from Caloote.

We found it by accident last time we were there.

This time, Rod and I decided to go the Mannum way (rather than Murray Bridge, as we did last time) as it would be a nicer drive through the hills (and we could stop for a danish at a cute country bakery in Birdswood).

Well, we got lost. Wrong turn out of Palmer. Should have kept going along the pipeline to Mannum......

I managed to SMS Ami (we were in and out of reception), only to get the reply that they were lost too.

Comedy of errors.

Then we finally got on the main road that we THOUGHT was correct (would lead us to the Caloote turnoff), only to see Adam and Ami driving towards us.

HILARIOUS !!

So we all stopped, consulted, decided to continue back the way Adam and Ami were coming from, and we were there within 5 minutes.

Yabbie nets went down, rod's were cast and we sat back to enjoy.

Quite a few nibbles, with myself the only lucky one to clear the Murray of another pesky carp.

Kranskys were enjoyed by all over a fire, before heading home (via Rod's parents to drop off the carp for their eating pleasure).

Oh yeah - no luck with the yabbies. It's a shame, as we want a "claudia" for the office......
