We had a wonderful time camping at Mambray Creek in the Mt Remarkable National Park. The park lies just south of the Flinders Ranges and has beautiful mountains, gorges and dry creek beds surrounded by amazing River Redgums, some of which must be over 100 years old. These gums stop growing and discard branches when there is not much water about then continue growing when times get good. In the older trees you can see where a huge tree has started to grow then part of it has died off and then growth has begun again. We enjoyed meeting the wildlife (kangaroos, rock wallabies, emus and goannas) and sitting around the fire each night. On our first day we ate the Blue Swimmer Crabs that we caught and cooked at Port Germein the day before - yummo! Ashleigh caught up on some school work while we were here and Hannah rode her bike for the first time using the pedals. We also cooked our first damper in the camp oven.
