Left Quorn in the early hours. It was still dark and I got about 2 kilometres out before I didn't need my headlamp. I enjoyed the caravan park. Nothing special just well thought out and clean with plenty of facilities for the camper. No TV though. The pub dinners were great Had a pint and a schooner last night. Mainly to get rid of the change in my pocket. A fair bit of road walking to start with, then you come to a gate with a sign saying "Bull Camel on property". I was wondering how fast I could run when I came across a cross with "Zane 1995-2016" I thought that was the camel. The first crossing of the highway and under the Pichi Richi Rail line. A little bit further I sat on a hill and had breakfast contemplating life and the travellers driving the highway. There are a lot of caravans travelling this road north. Then the dreaded fence line and rocky paddock. Then straight up a hill as the Heysen seems to do but the views were spectacular to the west and the east. I came across a silver box on a hill that had a notepad in it. I left my moniker on a page that had faded from what I could see ten years ago....recycling at its best.
Then there is the drop down of the ridge to go back under the highway and rail line again. There was a car and caravan parked beside the road and as I was coming down the hill they raced down the road, jumped in and took off. I was trying to fathom what they were doing and I remembered there was a geocache (google it) on the rail bridge that Belinda and I had done many years ago. So I wondered if that's what they were doing.
I walked up a creek line to a camping spot but wasn't too fussed on that site, so decided to start the walk up Mt Brown and see what I came across. Found a beautiful spot on Bald Hill lookout. Set up the camera in timelapse to try and get the best sunset. Used a shit load of memory as I forgot I had it going. But the night was perfect.
