After Hawker we saw our first kangaroos, the first one was just sitting by the road and initially we thought he was hurt (so I didn't take his picture), until he hopped away. We also saw emus along the way.

We finally arrived in Wilpena Pound and pitched our little tent for the night. Steven and Linda would be proud (well, Steve at least).

The tram was quite quaint and provincial, Glenelg was not. However, on the pier I ran into a Bennington parent -- the small world theory of life -- thanks to my house chairperson t-shirt. Ate lunch at a "take-away" lamb restaurant and then back to the city by bus (due to a tram derailment).

More shopping -- post cards and a Ken Done shirt for Anne. From there we went to the Merenda home for a fine bar-b-que dinner -- Steve would have died from all the meat. After, Peter, Gretchen, Angie (Peter's sister) and her boyfriend and I went for a night time drive including a trip up the hills for a view of Adeliede not unlike that of LA from Mulholland. I think I saw Orion in the sky, but I don't know if that's possible in the south -- the stars are so clear here, I can't imagine what they'll be in the Outback.
