The world was snap frozen this morning but Hermione seemed oblivious and just ran and sniffed like any other day, and in bare feet (paws?)

Flinders Ranges Part III
On the first section of Sky Trek, as mentioned in Flinders Ranges Part II, all you really need is the ground clearance of a 4WD. That is until you start ascending the mountain range where you need a proper 4WD with low range to tackle as the terrain is very steep in places. Sky Trek is a 60km loop where you will find yourself using low range more often than not in the final 30km as you traverse up and down the ranges. In terms of scenery and some of the best 4WD driving the Flinders Ranges ranks right up there with some of the best 4WD destinations in the country and Sky Trek is the most famous of several private property tracks that will get you views and experiences you will not get in the National Park alone. From the top of Mount Caernarvon Trig Point you get the best perspective of the Flinders Ranges and an almost birds eye view of Wilpena Pound from this vantage point.

Flinders Ranges Part II
Skytrek is a 4WD self drive tour on Willow Springs Station Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Willow Springs Station is located around 450km north of Adelaide, or just over 1000km from Bendigo Victoria. This trek takes approximately 6 hours and is an exhilarating 4WD experience that takes you up to Mount Caernarvon, at 921 Metres its the highest points of vehicle access in the Flinders Ranges. The track starts fairly sedately through huge Red River Gum lined creek beds, aboriginal etchings, groves of native pines and black oak and bluebush plains in the mountain valleys. There are plenty of historic points of interest along the way like windmills, mustering yards and an old shepherd's hut.

Flinders Ranges Part I
The Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound are located in South Australia around 450km north of Adelaide, or just over 1000km from Bendigo Victoria. The first day here we went to see the ranges from Moralana Scenic Road. A 130km round trip from Hawker up the Wilpena (Binman) Rd to the Moralana track, an easy outback red dust track except for some creek crossings. It skirts along the South and West side of Wilpena Pound across to Barndioota (Parachilna) Rd where we circled back to Hawker.

Victorian Desert Tracks I
Wyperfeld National Park is open plains and mallee eucalypts, with a usually dry Outlet Creek through the middle that has flowed three times in the last 100 years. Outlet Creek is the overflow from Lake Albacutya and runs through the park and linking a series of lakes (also usually dry). Some of the 4x4 tracks that wind through what is classed as 'remote wilderness'. I entered from the Patchewollock eastern side and only ran down from Yarto (-35.498832,142.272091) to Dattuck Road (-35.588033,142.385881) partial track logged *here* in the park.

Wisemans Ferry
85 km from the centre of Sydney is Wisemans Ferry, a cable ferry named after its founder, Solomon Wiseman, a former convict. It crosses the Hawkesbury River connecting the old Great North Road. The ferry crossing has been in use since 1829, making it the oldest ferry crossing still in operation in Australia. Until the opening of the Peats Ferry Bridge across the Hawkesbury River at Brooklyn, Wisemans Ferry was one of the main road routes north out of Sydney.
