Tuesday July 26th was our last full day of walking in the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park.
The plan was to make an early start, walk Acacia Ridge, have morning coffee at Arkaroola Village, walk back to the car along the Arkaroola Rd, have lunch amongst the river gums in the creek bed of Kingsmill Creek, then spend the afternoon walking along Kingsmill Creek Gorge.
It was bright, sunny and cloudless — so it was not a good day for landscape photography along the Acacia ridge-top.
Pastoralism was a settler colonial industry and whilst walking along the ridge-top I struggled to imagine this as pastoral country, The country is dry, rugged, with deep gorges and long droughts. Much of it is inaccessible.
