Random thoughts and observations
Before heading to Mambray Creek in Mount Remarkable National Park on Sunday I stayed overnight in the small seaside village of Port Germein.
Port Germein is 27km north of Port Pirie, where I used to live in 1993-94, and has a permanent population of about 250.
This number swells in summer as the town is popular for fishing and crabbing.
Fast-flowing mountain streams in South Australia?
Only if you happen to be in the Flinders Ranges the day after nearly two inches of rain.
Today I hiked the 18km Hidden Gorge trail from the Mambray Creek campground in Mount Remarkable National Park, about 30km north of Port Germein.
I’m struggling at the moment to decide which online notes app I want to primarily use across various devices.
I don’t intend to review them all here; there are plenty of other sites for that. This is simply a short user perspective.
The candidates are Springpad, Catch and Keep.
I used an Australia Post parcel locker today for the first time. It’s a novel and useful service, which I’m sure will grow in popularity as more people purchase more goods online.
I usually get small parcels delivered to work, but I’m conscious of privacy and concerned about reliability. The parcel locker service guarantees both.
Today I walked up Mount Lofty from Waterfall Gully near Adelaide for the first time in just over two years.
I’m much fitter now than I was in 2011 and made the climb without any difficulty whatsoever.
The pace over 4km was slow at 1:12:16 because my partner wanted to take it “slow and steady”.
