Spent most of the day walking back to where I'd left my car at the Bundaleer Reservoir yesterday morning

Started along Paige's Hill Road

Passed a red house on a hill, surrounded by Canola

Passed some beehives

Moved on to the Heysen Trail (for a short time) as I neared the reservoir. The signs inform me that the trail has been re-routed along here

Instead of loosely following the Goyder Highway like before, it now runs alongside the pipework in the photo above: up and over the hill. Then, descending down the other side and diverging North-West, it crosses a creek at the bottom of the valley, before climbing back up the next hill to meet a road and a chlorinator >> at the top

Standing at the top, looking back down the hill I had just climbed, I could make out some concrete infrastructure in the distance

It was too far away to tell if it was the structure seen in the photos above, but it was definitely a pair of sluice gates of the same type. I'll have to get back there and explore the area more when I have the time

It was getting late in the afternoon by then, and I had to get back to the City for the Hive Meetup. So, I continued on down the road for a few more kilometres, before finally reaching my car

Looks like you got some nice weather! That was cool you were able to find some old pics of the area, that'd be neat if they matched! Keep updating your treks, lovin it 👍

Yeah it was nice and sunny for this. Bit better than the day before when I got caught in hail at one point 😆
