Kiwi John, is pretty much the kiwi version of "I've been everywhere man". He has cycled, driven, hitched through most of Oz, on his working visa holiday. Over a real percolated coffee, (havn't had one of those in a long while) at the dinner table, (still getting used to sitting at a proper table with proper chairs) we told him our travel plans, to the Alice, via the Oodnadatta Track. "Yip, I bin there" he said in his sux dum sums en fush un chups, Kiwi iccent. He had worked on the Moomba gas fields project, in the Cooper Basin, in the far north east of S.A. before heading to the Alice, to bust a few pay checks.

The Heysen Trail at 1250km running from Cape Jervis in the South to Parachilna Gorge in the far North is rated as one of the worlds 7 great walks, I was amazed when I read this, so I started looking into how to go about doing it. I did walk part of the most southern section from Cape Jervis to Fishery Creek in 2005 (about 6km) and had plans at the time to go back down there and do more but never did. I remember that section of the trail as being mostly flat and the views across the ocean to Kangaroo Isand as spectacular.
