Cold cold night. I got up early and then crossed a fence into a sheep property. I'm out of the Flinders Range National Park and I think its all pastoral properties to Hawker. I could hear the sheep but they were off in the distance. Mobs of Kangaroos were bouncing about and a chorus of Galahs and Parrots was ringing out. Ambling across the countryside reminded me of all those old Australian movies like Sundowner. I threw a few "stone the crows" about and it felt right. All I needed was a Kookaburra to let out a call and it would have been perfect.
Spent the morning heading across country towards the Elder Range then the track swings in between it and Red Range and then follows a creek. It was a short walk and I arrived at the Red range campsite just after 1?. 
No hut just a water tank and a long drop toilet. Most of the walk along the creek was through a pine forest with an occasional big gum tree. The ones with huge bases.
I will have to find out what they are. If they are the same as the one at Orroroo then I think they are Red River Gum.
