From SA to VIC to NSW!
Days sixteen - eighteen were spent visiting family in Albury and catching up with them hence not a lot of photos taken ☺️🤎
- our campsite along the way to albury was a 3/5 😂 it was ok for a stopover but nothing to write home about, the frogs 🐸 we’re sooo loud & heard running water from the lake the whole night 🤦🏽‍♀️

Rawnsley Park Station 🌄
Days twelve and thirteen
5/5
This place is definitely a highlight of our trip so far!
- Had an incredible dining experience at the Woolshed Restaurant with their lamb tasting 🥂 It was incredible & tasted so good!
- Saw the breathtaking Wilpena Pound 😍
- We did a walk to see some Aboriginal rock art which was super cool to see!
- Met some amazing people & watched some beautiful sunsets and sunrises 🤎



We can’t believe how green it is out here! Apparently they’ve nearly doubled how much rain they’d usually get in a year! Hasn’t been this lush since the 70s they say! 🪻

I was so excited entering Wilpena Pound 🤣
