Dedmans Hut to Wilpena Pound

Distance today 51km

A good night’s sleep in Dedmans Hut, except for the strange noises from the roof, which was probably birds. It was completely still and quiet in the morning, wasn’t even anyone driving on the nearby road. I worked on trying to true the rear wheel as good as I could, so that I hopefully don’t have anymore broken spokes. I headed out, crossed the highway and headed down a narrow track. I was headed down the Trezona track which is east of the Aroona valley. It was sunny and picturesque, however lots of creek crossings, pushing the bike uphill. I stopped for lunch at Middlewater hut. Then further south to the Bunyeroo Gorge road, where I actually saw some other people. South of Bunyeroo was a slog, I was getting tired. The last 5km of the track was detoured and rough. At one stage I had to unload the bike to be able to push it up the hill. I arrived at Wilpena Pound campground at 7pm.
