Five States Desert D..

Fri 12 Jul – Weetoota Gorge to Mt Chambers Gorge
As our intended destination
for the night was Mount
Chambers Gorge which was
only a very short drive we
took our time breaking
camp. Arriving at the Gorge
around lunch time we set up
camp being the only
campers at the site.
Ross decided to stay in camp
and relax whilst I drove the
short distance to the track
head for a stroll up the gorge and the display of aboriginal petro glyphs. The walk was bout a
kilometre and I took the track above the creek to the site and then walked back along the
creek bed on my return. I passed a number of day trippers on the track. The display of petro
glyphs is one of the most
prolific around and well
worth a visit if in the area.
Late afternoon another
family arrived and set up
camp. We had a chat and
they advised they were
from Tasmania and on the
first leg of a 6 month trip
around Australia.
Sat 13 Jul – Mt Chambers Gorge to Wilpena
Packing up camp we headed for Blinman and arrived for morning tea and enjoyed another
Quandong pie with coffee. As our liquid refreshment stocks were low we visited the pub and
topped up our supplies. I bought some bottles of wine and Ross purchased a 5L container of
port for a good price.
