Flinder Ranges - Wilpena Pound

Hi Ray

Agree with Wendys

We stayed at Wilpena Pound as we wanted to do some of the walks and start out early before it got too hot. Nice campground, and yes others had campfires.

Steven....the firewood....did they provide it or did you take it in with you?

OOPS sorry....I mean't Stephen...sorry.

Hi Redbakk
You can buy firewood in small bags, but we take our own wood with us. The two large black bags and the red, white and blue stripe bag was wood that we had carried from Clare and the small pike of wood we collected along the way. Apart from the great camp fire, the smell of the burning Cyprus Pine fire is a very nice smell and one that we always relate to our Flinders camps. Years ago, we always had our favourite camp spot around 5 kilometres north of Wilpena, before it was made into a National Park, where it was true bush camping - those were the days.

We have travelled to many great desert locations around outback Australia, yet the Flinders for me still rates as one of the very best and we never get sick of going there.

Cheers

Stephen
