Day 8 - Wilpena to Port Augusta

When I got up this morning, I was still undecided as to weather or not I would head north and do a small section of the oodnadatta Track from Maree to the edge of Lake Eyre then back south via Olympic Dam and Wimera. A conversation with a bloke over a sink washing dishes made up my mind, He said there is a possibility it could "Really Rain" over the next couple of days which could change the track from Dry to totally wet and undrivable with my car, so play it safe.....

I first headed north to find some caches I missed 2 days ago and to drive down the Brachina Gorge Geological Trail, very interesting, so many different different types of rock along 1 road. Anyway, I found my caches then headed slightly further north to Parachilna, and to Parachilna Gorge where the Heysen Trail finishes. There was a lady there who is a friend of the trail and she was waiting for a group of 34 that were finishing the track today, apparently they have been doing it in sections over the last 6 years.

Anyway, now the rest of the day was dedicated to mostly driving back over familiar ground, from here to Port Augusta where I would stay the night. I have now driven over 2000 Km.
