We started today with a 3 mile, 2000 ft climb, to The Granite Skyway. A steel walkway and observation platform that wraps around a large granite outcropping. After the 2000 ft climb, one must negotiate a rock scramble and then a 20 ft ladder to get to the walkway. The reward for this effort is great view of surrounding forest and farm land. As much as we enjoyed the experience we wondered whether the effort required to build the skyway was justified by the number of visitors.

After the Skyway we headed north through wheat country, some dry salt lakes, scrubby gum trees and a number of typical small country towns. Some real nostalgia for we country kids.

Tonight we are staying at Wave Rock Caravan and Tourist Park another full service facility.
