First time to Arkaroola for the year and it was like I've never seen it ! Water everywhere. Very unusual. Their average yearly is around 250mm , this year so far around 650mm.
Also unusual, Angela accompanying me on a camping trip ! We did stay in accommodation for two nights and did the Ridge-top Tour which I'd never done before in lieu of walking to the scenic points !
I got a couple of the shorter walks in though.
Unfortunately we only spent 4 days up there.
