During our stay in Port Germein we had visited Mount Remarkable and found out that you could camp there as well. The place looked very good and so I went online, because that's the only way to book and pay for a site, and so we ended up in this great National Park and stayed for 2 nights....
Come and enjoy our spot, view and the animals we met during our two walks....
When you book you have to choose a site number. Luckily, as I told you already, we had been there the day before and we had seen the spots and wrote down a few we liked.
This was one with a nice view and not too far from the toilets and showers, oh YES those facilities were there as well!
What a relaxing spot hey!! The trees were beautiful!
And we got company as well!!
Our first walk to Sugargum Lookout, 8 k's return....
Animals everywhere;
Notechis scutatus ater — Flinders Ranges Tiger Snake
The Tiger Snake is widely known and widely feared in Australia, and not without good reason: it has been responsible for a large proportion of snakebite deaths in the country.
A tree Goana... and just look as the size of the tree....
This walk starts very easy but at the end it's a steep way up, but the view was worth it...
Having a rest before.......
going down again which was even more tricky because of the loose stones....
red quartzite cliffs...
and of course there are BBQ facilities, the sign says;
"You eat your lunch, I'll eat mine"
This is not even healthy for us, let alone for wildlife
Sorry, I can't get enough of our view, especially with this evening light...
Our second walk leads us along a natural trail and starts just in front of our caravan.......
The most strange trees are to be seen....
Sorry, this is not a strange tree but a strange animal
The Old Baroota Cemetery
It's not that I love graveyards so much, but this one is situated at a beautiful, peaceful spot....
The walk also leads us to the Baroota ruins....
Not much left here....
Look at the big Tree Goana....
I hope you liked this story with the typical Aussie Nature and Wildlife....
Till next time;
Cheers!
