Gawler Ranges National Park

After paying the national park entrance fee of $9, we pack drinking water and lunch. We were hoping to get a lift from anyone entering the Organ Pipes. Just as we wished, a couple on 4WD drove by. They actually offered us a lift after they knew of our intention to walk. It was good chat with Caroline and Kim. After 8 km of bumpy road, we reach the main entrance and just some hike in, there stands the wonderful rock formations.

We spend about four hours here, hiking up the rocks. Since the couple had left, we walked out the 8km under the hot sun. It took us 2 and half hours to walk back out. Luckily we had enough water =) It was still worth the walk, cause the scenery is really beautiful. But that’s the only part of the park we can go, other area are 4wd only and too far to walk. By the end of that walk, we felt so grateful to Caroline and Kim, if not for them, we’ll have a really hard time doing the 16km walk =)
