Such
a relaxing day! Things started off with a hike around our campgrounds to a
beautiful lookout point then we packed up camp and hit the road. A few hours
and some photo stops later, we arrived in Beltana, a now ghost town in the
middle of the desert. Recently, they had a lot of rainfall (their entire annual
amount fell the week before we arrived) so some of the roads were washed away.
We reached a point where the bus couldn't drive through the road anymore and
had to walk the rest of the way into the town. Luckily, we were just going
for a visit and were sleeping on the edge of town at a cattle station that we
could drive to. The station has about half a million acres... it's huge! And
right there, in the middle of the desert was a pool oasis where we could relax
and spend the afternoon.
Rise and shine, its hiking time!
Let's all lie in the middle of the road!
