On the way to Surveyor General's Corner- July 19- Day 13 on track.

STATS:
Distance Travelled: 281.4km

Well after packing up from our campsite, we headed off to Wingenina Aboriginal Community, to arrange a guide to take us to the Surveyor General's Corner.




Some Dingoes along the way
A young Desert Oak.

A view along the way. I liked the single tree on top of the hill.
Must have been something good to photograph.
A melon. The camels eat these I believe.
A nice yellow pea.
A cool sign on the way to Wingellina.  (which I think I have been spelling wrong - oops!)
One of the many dead vehicles along the roads.
After securing our guides - Chris and Joshua in Wingellina, and purchasing some icecreams etc from the community store, we were then taken out to the corner, this is the track out.
The first post marks the corner of WA and SA. Here is me with a foot in both camps.
Watching.
Milani straddling two states.
Here we all are at the first post.
Second post about 25 metres away marks the CORNER of three States - WA, SA and NT.
We finally have made it to the MEETING OF THE STATES. Joshua on the left and Chris on the right.
Organising a cuppa tea at the corner, we boiled the kettle on the gas and Joshua built a quick campfire.
Milani with her cuppa.
Spot sitting on the post, so there should be a "spot" from the corner.


A tree in a river bed. Nice big gum.
A bird on the top of tree.
A mountain range in the distance...can't recall which one.
Another photo opportunity, not sure what Col was capturing.
Some sort of Wattle-y type plant.
A grass head I liked.
and again.
Typical "outback" sign - Dead bonnets are put to good use.
Our camp tonight was beside a river bed, with some amazing Dingoes howling and a good sunrise...pictures on tomorrow's blog.
