Day 4: Bunyeroo Valley to Wilpena Chalet

Thursday 23rd August 2012

Early morning photographs taken by me at Rawnsley Park.


Early morning at the Rawnsley Park cabins.

Our view of Rawnsley Bluff in the morning light

After the rest day on Wednesday, Dean Mortimer resumed the 'Reverse' theme by introducing the  official FOHT badge for the North-to-South End to End walks.



John Vugts chose Bill Pick as the recipient of the Morris Minus award.  Bill was the first recipient for meritorious action, setting a great example by helping younger walkers through difficult terrain in a rocky creek bed.  Well done Bill.


Day 4 - Bunyeroo VAlley
The Day 4 walk was about 21.5 km and included more beautiful scenery, but we also had to be aware of the danger that had claimed a victim on End-to End 3.  Enter Jane Haar, Safety Officer.

Jane Haar spies a planking black spot - and alerts us to the danger........

.... then demonstrates the proper technique for safe planking.

It looks a long way off, but St Mary Peak is near our destination at Wilpena Chalet

Not the most comfortable setting for a break.




Regroup to discuss which way to go.

Still not sure which way to go - Hilary Dickman looks devastated at the news.

David Meredith shows steely resolve as he finds a way out.
PS - we weren't really lost at all.  I just made that silly stuff up when I spotted the look on Hilary's face.
