The first stop after
breakfast was some ruins called Kanyaka Homestead. They reminded me of English Castles but on a much smaller scale.
We then headed to
Flinders Ranges National Park for an 8k hike to Wangara lookout. The
scenery was stunning, We walked through the park and climbed to a lookout
point. It was so windy at the top we didn’t stay up there for too long!
Throughout the park we
saw lots of wild kangaroos. One had a baby joey which was really cute.
We had lunch in the park
and then started driving to a little town called Blinman. It was famous for its
quondam pie. I really wanted to try some, but didn’t want to take the risk I’d
be allergic to it. We also stopped at a great lookout point for photos!
We then drove to Parachilna, for our last night of the tour. We were literally staying in tin sheds, although they were much nicer than I expected on the inside. I was sharing with Kayla.We had dinner at a bar there, where I got to eat Kangaroo, Emu and Camel. The Kangaroo was definitely my favourite.
Whilst I was there I
tried to sort out my shark dive. I was planning to fly to Port Lincoln on
Friday so I could dive over the weekend. I was gutted to find out that all the
dives for the week had been cancelled and the ones that had gone ahead had not
seen any sharks. It’s exactly the same as what happened to me twice in South
Africa.
I didn’t want to fly all
the way there and not see any sharks so I decided to abandon that plan and head
straight to Melbourne. I was keen to catch up with everyone from tour and am
looking into coming back to South Australia later in my trip.
After dinner we went
straight to bed. We didn’t have to leave until 8am, which was a late lie in for
me after all the 5am starts.
