Saltwatercowboy: Quorn and The Flinders Rangers

After Two nights at Fitzgerald bay it was into Port Augusta for stores and fuel then it was onto Warren Gorge.While at the Gorge I hop on my mountain bike for a look around which is the best way to see what is around so we can go exploring. As always ,I bit of more than i can chew and seeing a loop walk only about 5ks started up the hill ,walking most of the way and then decided it was to hard with the bike so hopped on and down i went.The ride down was unbelievable and fast having both brakes on most of the way it was touch and go but a lot of fun some times I forget I am getting older.The next day Mick (niknoff),Vickie P and myself set out on the loop walk and where rewarded with the most lovely scenery and some much needed exercise.

We where camped at the Gorge waiting for some more bushtrackers to show up but we heard that they where setting up camp at the Quorn race grounds in readiness for the muster so it was upanchor and in to Quorn. Quorn is a great friendly town with a strong community spirit . The muster was a great success with plenty of laughs ,how to demos,day trips,spit roast and the annual dinner which was all done by local clubs. One of the day trips we did was to climb the Dutchman's Stern which is 8.5k return walk and well worth the steep climb up.
