Flinders Ranges Part 1



WILPENA POUND
Matt & I seen on the outside of Wilpena Pound.



THE POUND CLIMB
This proved to be a tough yet rewarding climb. The climb begins as a relatively flat bush walk through streams, rivergums & wattles. On this particular day the wind was quite strong  but we plugged along. The climb is the most accessible to view the Pound, but is still a vertical climb of 600m. The boys did really well.
Wipena Pound was formed by uplifting millions of years ago. The result is that there is a crater like formation. The surrounding mountains are to me like a colosseum or grandstand with the SCG in the middle.



RAZORBACK RANGE
There are several trails to explore. We left the van in the National Park camp area & took to the off road tracks.
