Our day started at 5:30am and after some quick organisation we were on the road, back to the Sculpture Park. Why so early? Well, the park opened at 6am and we wanted to avoid the heat of the day - plus we were booked to do a Silverton mine tour at 10am (with earlier check-in).
We planned to do both the flora and cultural walks (a total of about 4km) in the cool of the early morning.
The moon was still in the sky when we arrived and it was too dark to read the entrance hut signs.
We viewed those signs on the way out and laughed over memories sparked by seeing the native apricot photo!
Some of the shrubs and flowers were familiar. A great bonus was seeing some Sturt's Desert Peas when we detoured onto a smaller side-track.
Desert Peas featured on our wedding cake and on a teabag pouch in our trusty beverage case.
It was close to 9am when we got back to the parking area, time for a quick cuppa and loo stop before heading to Silverton.
