Another exhausting day on our travels, today we went up to the Jarvis Hill Lookout which is only a few kilometres from Hawker, the climb to the top of the hill was a bit of a challenge for Rob but she took to the challenge and although all the others beat us to the top we made it, slow and steady was the way to go.
Rob the great expidition leader
Once on top the views of the surrounding area were magnificent, we even met and old friend on the way to the top (ok it may not have been the same lizard!).We then went for a bit of a drive to the north of Hawker, and found some very old graves dating back to the late 1800’s I said in my last blog that it must have been a tough life and when you read the ages on some of the grave stones it was no place for young children.
On arrival back at base camp, (sounds like an expedition hu!) Rob found a lost soul, he was very hungry and thirsty so Rob being the good neighbour gave him some food and water (you can’t see it in the photo but it was definitely a male).
(For those who don't know this is a FERRETT)
Opps almost forgot this one just a sample of some of the beautiful desert flowers.
Keep posted for our futher exploits on pattostravels from Parachilna where Peter will attempt the Road Kill lunch!!!!!!!!
