Flinders Range is a rugged, steep, set of hills emitting outrageous reds at sunrise and sunset. Sadly, the Park was closed and restricted access to many spots limiting opportunities for shots. The Parks officials suddenly decided to cull the goat population by helicopter over a vast range of the Park. That did not limit all options and I got out to several great spots.
I stayed at Wilpena Pound camp which is a oasis in the middle of rugged hills and desert. No surprise, it is a sacred spot for aboriginals and they left many marks on landmarks.
One morning in an effort to improve upon sunrise shots I set out in wind and rain. The bad news is that it developed into a full on lightening and thunderstorm and forced me back to camp. Exciting knowing how easy it is to get cut off from flash floods.
I’m off to Arkaroola, which is a tiny community in the North Flinders: the outback. Very limited resources, no internet; perfect. It will be several days before I get a chance to update the blog.
