Finke River to Ormiston Gorge is an easy hike over the dry river bed, up and down small hills before a slightly bigger climb up and then heading down towards the gorge. I love the spinifex dotting the land. It gives you a real sense of the dots that are used in many aboriginal paintings. It was also really nice to have Mt Sonder in the background. One day we'll climb you, Mt Sonder. My absolute highlight was spotting a Splendid Fairy Wren. Stunning little birds and one of my all time favourites.
/ The landscape.
/ Gav and his pack. Mine was not nearly as big!
/ Dried grasses making beautiful patterns.
/ Lot's of pretty flowers.
/ Ring-necked parrot outside the kiosk at Ormiston Gorge. While at Finke River we were told that there was a kiosk that served Real Coffee and Hot Food. We had no idea Ormiston Gorge was so established. Turned out the kiosk had only opened that week and a lovely couple from Melbourne had taken on the task.
/ Camp all to ourselves. Me and my funny-faced darling.
