After a salubrious buffet breakfast we set out on the walk to the Hills Homestead and Wangara lookout in Wilpena Pound.

The walk into the Pound was along a picturesque creek surrounded by huge gums and was the only way in to this natural enclosure surrounded by mountains.The area inside the Pound had been used in the 1800s by the Hills family to graze sheep and later grew wheat. Their small homestead was still standing and had been restored.

The view from Wangara lookout across the Pound was very impressive with the majestic circle of mountains surrounding us. Trev felt the need for a nap at the summit…

After lunch we drove out to the Great Wall of China- a sandstone ridge along the top of the hills remarkably like it’s namesake. A short distance away was Huck’s lookout with a great view back toward the Pound…. and beautiful grass trees growing on the hillside.
