Day 15: Anzac Day

When we got up we got ready for the Anzac Day Service. When we eventually got to Hawker for the service we were 5 minutes late, so there was only 25 minutes remaining. When the service was over, we went to this shop owned by someone we knew from church the previous day. This man was a painter and a photographer. We looked at his paintings and photographs and bought a couple of his smaller paintings and left to go home. When we got back to the caravan, we got ready to leave for Blinman. We left Rawnsley and drove through the Flinders Ranges for about an hour before getting to Blinman. We arrived at Blinman at about 3:30 and went sightseeing. We went to the Blinman cemetery and went to the Blinman pub for a drink. After we’d finished exploring Blinman we headed off to Parachilna Gorge to stay the night. We came across a couple of good spots to stay at but the road in was either too hard to get into or it was too rugged. We finally found a spot to park the caravan and stay the night. We settled in and made a fire to keep us warm. I enjoyed the fire for a little while then went to bed followed by everyone else.
