Looks like a lovely place to celebrate your birthday! Hope your hubby did all the cooking that day. Hooter was such a gorgeous owl!

Thanks Bel
Hubby organised a cake for me!! Our friends had it in their Engel and as we had done some intense rough roads it was a little worse for wear!!
Had candles too!! hahaha Was delicious though...mud cake my favourite.

Nice trip report Snicko, great pics as well. Made several trips through Parachilna gorge myself on the weekend, missed you by a day I guess. We hit it on Saturday 10am.
Wasn't real excited about diesel prices at Hawker though, what were the prices like further north??

Happy belated Birthday Snicko and glad you had a safe trip.

I tried to ring on the Saturday morning but had no service on the phone so looks like we just missed you - bugger!!

The dearest fuel prices we found was in Innamincka at 2.09.9c a litre. We donated quite a bit of money there!!

Yer no service at all, would of been good to catch up, if the timing was right we had a whole homestead between 4 of us,
7 spare beds and a cracker of a fire.

That would have been awesome. Oh well next time!!

There was LOTS of traffic on the road back to Quorn. Did you have much on the way up??

Nah we had a great run up and back, Went up through Clare rather than cop all the traffic along Port Wakfield way, Coming home was just as good, through Wilpeena to Hawker then onto P'Wakefield rd, traffic was minimal, Channel 7 was all set up at Wakefield ready for a busy one though with all there satelite dishes and what not, Only saw 1 officer of the law on the way up and return....nnnniiiiicccccccee
