Flinders Ranges National Park - Australia. September 2006




















First time we saw wild Kangaroos in abundance was during a walk though the Flinders Ranges National Park. We later found ourselves lost in pitch darkness after attempting a 4 hour walk in 2 hours. We managed to find our way in and out of a valley, half way up a mountain (where we saw the car lights before our touch packed up) and then ended up on the wrong side of steep, water filled canyon - all in pitch darkness. It was decided the only way to get back was to shimmy down the rocky slope and hope we could climb the other side to where we could walk to the camp. I remember thinking later that night in the tent as the wind got up how lucky we were to get back - next time we took the bush walks a bit more seriously.
