The Places We've Been

Lyndhurst (25/11/11 - 26/11/11)

We left Wilpena Pound with the intention of heading to Clare to catch up with family.  We stopped at the Yourambulla Caves just south of Hawker – some great aboriginal rock art and more walk trails!  We met a couple who had just been to Lake Eyre and raved about it.  Lake Eyre was one of Simon’s places to see while we were away, but we had gone off the idea somewhat, but after speaking to these people we decided we would do it after all.  So instead of heading to Clare we followed the old Ghan train line on the western side of the Flinders Ranges until we reached a tiny town called Lyndhurst.  The caravan park was basic but fine and we would rate it better than Coober Pedy.  The plan was to drive out to the Lake Eyre for a day trip.  However, plans changed once again.  We ended up going for a two hour flight over Lake Eyre.  AMAZING!!
