Saturday 3rd November

We checked out of our villa and drove a short way to the base of the gorge leading to Wilpena Pound. We walked up through the gorge and into the open area of the Pound before heading further up to the viewpoint. We then walked back down as the temperature rose. We decided to take the main highway back to Adelaide. It took about 90 minutes driving on deserted straight roads before the scrubby wasteland gave way to enormous wheat fields stretching to the horizon without any boundaries. The drive took 5 hours and it was only in the final 20 minutes that housing appeared and traffic built up. On the highway we came across 2 or 3 trailer road trains. We checked into the hotel and had a Thai meal.
