Today we woke up early and put on our walking shoes for a day 'out bush', trekking up to the top of Wilpena pound. In Aboriginal dreamtime stories, two serpents slithered through this region and formed the gradient and ridges in the pound. (Much more exciting than the scientific explanation). We were told the hike up would take 5 hours so we put on our super-cool day packs stuffed with everything from water bottles to bandages for snake bites - still haven't seen a snake though!)
After reaching the top of the pound we had a spectacular view over the whole region and spent most of the afternoon walking around the ridges on the outside of the crater-shaped formation. To top off the day we went for a swim then finished off some wine we bought in the Barossa whilst watching sunset - we're too cute :-p

Word of the day: Cairn (A heap of stones set up as a landmark, monument, tombstone, etc.)
