I guess as we were beside the ocean the temperature wasn't too bad at 12.7C. We went over to the house where Doug was feeding the Western Grey Kangaroos.

It wasn't long before we were at the start of the Flinders Ranges.
Our first stop was at Death Rock and Kanyaka historical site homestead.

We stopped at Hawker for lunch. The mountains of the Flinders Ranges were amazing.
We were not sure where we were going to camp and drove into Wilpeba Pound to visit the National park office and pay camping fees. After studying their map of the Flinders Ranges, we chose Koolamon campsite 7 (for two nights) which was close to a gorge.

We were completely alone, apart from wallabies. There are two camping areas at Koolaman. Ours was by 4WD access (slightly more expensive) and the other, further upstream of Aroona Creek, was suitable for caravans and tour busses.
