Camping in the Flinders Ranges with my MGB...



That's my MGB in the Wilpena Pound camping ground in the Flinders Ranges, March (autumn) 1973, taken with my Pentax Spotmatic on Ektachrome. As you might guess, the MGB is a totally inappropriate car to go camping in this sort of terrain. I was with my friends, whose much more appropriate Peugeot 504 you can see in the background. No tent, as I was packing up to leave. The adventure came because I decided to go back via Brachina Gorge, rather than the road I'd come up on. About half way through the gorge, I got the B stuck, crossing a washout. I remember turning off the engine and listening. Silence. Blasted the horn. Echoes, then silence. No-one around, and the main road was a 10+ mile walk in 35-plus C heat, so it was up to me to get myself out. After about an hour of digging, shifting rocks and jamming bushes under the wheels, I did succeed in getting the car out, though the silencer parted company with the exhaust pipe in the process! Luckily I had an old wire coat hanger in the boot, so I managed to bodge it up so that neither part dragged on the road, and get myself the 85 km to Hawker, where I could get the exhaust sorted. It was a sobering experience!
