Wilpena Pound Flinders Ranges South Australia

We are in the Wilpena caravan and campground for the next four days. It is situated in the Flinders Ranges National Park and it covers 50 hectares set amongst river red gums, native pines and abundant wildlife. We are  just a short walk from the entrance to Wilpena Pound and we have found it be a perfect base for exploring the area. 


In this natural bush setting, we have encountered  kangaroos and emus grazing while wedge-tail eagles soar overhead.  Last night we went out to look at the stars and found a kangaroo grazing by the front of our Winnebago.  It saw us and then started coming towards us after food, we tried to get it away but it just kept coming.  We went inside and it came up to the door and was looking in the door and trying to get it.  Apparently people feed them and the poor old kangaroos think every human will feed them.  They can become very aggressive towards you if you don't feed them.  The night sky is to die for - black as ink with beautiful stars and no road noise - bliss!!!
