No surprises in guessing that we had another early start to
the day (05:45) as we aimed to escape the sun for as long as possible on the
first walk out in the Flinders Ranges. We all set off on the 4.1km hike to the
summit of the Dutchmans Stern though one member of the group did have to be
sent back due to her cripplingly slow pace. This was a hard walk, all uphill
and very zig-zaggy; though not as tough as yesterday’s one. From the top you
could see for miles around again as it was a clear and sunny day. The views
today, we think, just beat those we got from the summit of Ohlssen. After
soaking in the sights, and Corrie eating all the biscuits, we sped back down
the hill to go back to the hostel for lunch… at 11:00.
The rest of the day was spent making the long drive to the
city of churches, Adelaide, with just a few toilet stops to break-up the
monotony of the drive.
We got to the city at about 17:00 and checked into the
Adelaide Travellers Inn before getting some info on things to do here, and also
some leaflets about tours to Kangaroo Island.
We then made a 20 minute walk to Chinatown and a Asian food
court where we got some tea; judging by the tears streaming down his face, it
was probably a bit spicy for Danny’s taste!
After this we went back for an early night with the joyous
prospect of a slight sleep in tomorrow – bliss!
