I guess that answers that. I can play music through the speakers as well as type. Was a windy night. Very glad to have a bunk in the cabin. I didn't think I had too much trouble sleeping but I didn't get out of bed till after 7am. Very cool morning I wore my shirt and rain hard shell to keep warm. Not that cold I needed the merino undershirt.
Overcast day to start out. The country through here is very open with a lot of gullies. The country seems very much shaped by water with not much of it hanging about. A lot of kangaroos and emus. The kangaroos range in colour from reds to a grey and white colour. They are a bit wary as I think some culling gets done here with a lot of corpses along the tracks which wouldn't see a lot of wheeled traffic. There is a sign on the huts that says they do spotlight for feral animals and don't be alarmed by rifle shots in the night. Not many feral corpses. The emus are very wary and run off when they catch sight of me. That was until I sat down for breakfast and a whole family wandered up. 
The walk was only 8.5 kilometres but it was the plan to sit out the afternoon and give the feet and other stuff a going over. This particular hut had a steady parade of tourists coming up for a walk as it's about 80 metres from the road.
There are no bunks here and I wasn't going to set up on the floor so I found a nice spot for the tent and spent the afternoon there. Still windy and I have been tasting dust all afternoon.
Read a bit of the Kindle and have been playing music. Very relaxing. 22 kilometres tomorrow to Wilpena Camp Ground. First of the civilisation drops. Might get to talk to the family and upload a little of the trip.
