Flinders Ranges - The Gammons
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
So I have been saying I will post some pics - so after putting one up at the mt brown thread, here are the rest.
It was sometimes very hard to get good photos though - due to the extremes of sunlight and shadow.
The Gammons are part of the northern Flinders and are 8 hours drive North from Adelaide.
They are a desert range and water supply is critical - but attempts to contact the rangers had all failed.
We arrived at the ranger station - and once again - no one there.
I had asked the folk at Arkaroola and they said summer rains had filled their waterholes, but they were starting to dry up now.
So we carried a lot of water.
We started at Weetootla and went the first afternoon to Grindall's Hut - which was a good thing.
Apart from the main hut which needs to be booked, there is a bushwalkers hut there (with 1 bed) which we slept in and good water at the hut.
We topped up there and carried in 16 litres between us.
There was good water on the way into Bunyip - so that made me relax a bit more about our trip. However we did not collect water till Rover - but we were using 6 litres a day.
