After breakfast and lunch making, we depart Rawnsley Park for our days walking. We begin the day with the Yuluna Circuit at Aroona, where we discover old pastoral ruins and pass through contrasting rock formations and vegetation. The ruins of the old Aroona Homestead, built in the 1850’s, serves as a reminder of the difficult early years of European settlement. This walk affords lovely views of the Heysen and Trezona Ranges. After lunch, we explore Brachina Gorge which is one of the park’s most popular and spectacular attractions. Brachina Gorge meanders its way through sharp sawtooth ridges of resistant quartzite. This spectacular gorge was once used as a pass through which bullock teams pulled their loads. After returning to Rawnsley Park Station, guests can take the opportunity to rest, or take part in any of the local walks from the accommodation. Nibbles are served at Rawnsley Park by your guides followed by a delicious two-course dinner.

After breakfast and lunch making we head off to the outback town of Blinman, before driving to Angorichina village, to start our walk. Today’s walk is a return journey to the beautiful Blinman Pools. The pool makes for a great place to stop and relax under the magnificent river red gums, or have a swim. These pools are bordered by majestic river red gums, and have been popular picnic spots since the 1800s. In some places on the trail, sheer cliffs rise almost straight up from the creek bed, providing a spectacular backdrop. The two spring-fed creeks keep the pools filled with water all year round. We finish our walk mid afternoon and return to our accommodation where guests can take part in any local walks from Rawnsley Park or take some time to relax before dinner. Nibbles will be served before dinning out at the onsite Woolshed restaurant. Dinner own expense tonight
