Days 6-8: The Arkaba Walk

 

This 3-day, 45km walk goes from Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges back to Arkaba, a 64,000 acre property bordering the park. 

The Milky Way

The walk goes through a lot of dry creek beds, River Red Gums, native Cypress Pines and with plenty of kangaroos and emus. Good food, and warm swags to sleep in for the very cold nights (down close to zero) with good company as well – a group of 9. Michele also got to refine her astral photography techniques. Those techniques were enhanced by the lack of a moon. We didn’t realised this until a fellow walker explained that she had timed her walk to coincide with the lack of moonlight because she was also doing astral photography.
