Cycling For a Reason
Hi Everybody,
Today it’s my day off and we have decided to visit Wilpena National Park close to Port Augusta. We got up at 5h50 in order to leave around 6h30 to reach on time Wilpena. My dad drove for almost 2 hours as the distance is around 170 km. The road was nice with some different layouts. At least it’s different than the landscapes that we had seen since 3 days.
We reach at 8h40 the National Park, perfect time to take the shuttle. In fact to go to the view point we took a shuttle. The trip was only 5 min. We have decided for the return to walk in the middle of the forrest as finally the distance was not so far compare that we thought.
After the shuttle dropping us, we walked and climbed for 45 min to reach the nice view point. We took as you can see on my albums a lot of pictures.
Wilpena is a sunken elliptical valley ringed by gnarled ridges of rock. This is also the perfect place to spy grey kangaroos and geeky families of emus.
We left the park at 11h22 to reach Port Augusta at 1h30. We took some petrol before parking our camping car. Now it’s 3.30 pm. I need to rest for tomorrow. The wind is absolutely strong now...but tomorrow is an other day.
I will reach adelaide in two days. I need two stages as the distance is more than 300 km.
See u tomorrow and have a nice week
Nice picture with my Dad.
