Some good views of the south eastern mountains of Wilpena Pound. On our way to stay in Wilpena Pound camp ground.


We stopped at this lookout to see more of the mountains of the Pound.




More mountains, not part of the Pound. The Cypress pine on the right are very common in the area around the Pound.


Our luck has run out, the weather bureau is predicting high winds, rain and thunderstorms. We thought we might get a short walk in...to Arkaroo Rock.


Rocks again...


...more wildflowers and views of the mountains...



Arkaroo Rock is a significant cultural site for the local indigenous people. The hike goes to a rock shelter with indigenous rock paintings.


Rain! on the walk back to the car park....the trail became a small creek.


Our golf wet weather jackets kept us reasonably dry....we had a cup of coffee and snacks while we watched the rain.


The name of the lookout attracted us...


It was worth taking a small detour to the lookout..a great view of the Wilpena Pound.


The view in the other direction...


We saw emus on our way to the Wilpena Caravan Park.


Our spot for the night....lots of trees and bush in the area.


Some of the surrounding trees of the caravan park.
