Day 246 Saturday 12th October 2013; Location - Tcharkuldu Rock

After breakfast and packing up the camper Rena and I headed off up to Tcharkuldu Rock to explore it.  There was some really great hidding holes as well as some interesting natural sculptures. Some of the rocks looked like the Devils Marbels formations.

After exploring the rock we headed back to the car whilst trying to escape the never ending flies, one thing that has plagued us has been flies and wind.

We headed to the highway and eastward.

When we past through Wudinna we stoped at a giant granite sculpture dedicated to the agriculturalist. Really well done.

We then hit the road again and called in to the Goyders Monument, we had camped at the monument that was on the eastern side of the Flinders Rangers so was interesting to look at this monument (even if it wasnt on the actual Goyders Line).

I made lunch whilst James squatted the flies. Boy they have been bad, and we escaped in to the car to eat it.

Next stop after lunch was Kimba, we tried to find the Giant Pink Galah, but alas, we haven't found it yet. (Tomorrow), we then headed up to the White's Knob lookout and the iron sculptures of Eyre and his aboriginal tracker. Very well done, worth the look. I had a quick look at the caves, 2 small caves in the hillside.

We then headed back to the Kimba Recreation Reserve and set up camp for the night. What a find, kids playground for Rena, HOT showers ($1 for 3 mins) for me, (YAY a REAL shower), water, toilets, and all free.  This town really does welcome RV's.

Well we spent the afternoon relaxing and keeping Rena occupied until it had cooled down enough for her to go play in the playground.  James did a tag with me and I came back and cooked dinner, was a novelty tonight, didnt have to fight the elements cooking outside, just had to worry about the flies.

Well after dinner, James and I did the tag team and went and had our showers, OMG it was so good to have a real shower and not have to turn the water on and off, and worry about every mil you were using.

After dinner we got talking to our neighbour, they come from Morayfield, so small world.
