South Australia here we come...

9th September 2016

We got on the road early from Uluru travelling together with Bill and June.  We took our time, cruising along at 90km per hour and stopping every so often for a cuppa or to refuel. By early afternoon we were crossing the NT/SA border and started looking for a free camp. We pulled into Marryat Creek rest area and found a good spot on the dry creek bed for the night. We had a lovely evening sitting around the campfire.

Off to Coober Pedy this morning.  On the way we spotted a large grove of Sturt Desert Peas, they were stunning.




Coober Pedy is an interesting place, it looks a bit like a moonscape with white hills as far as you can see.  Most of the houses are underground.  We spent two days here looking at various underground motels, mines and churches.

We did a tour in the Old Timers Mine and also checked out the Comfort Inn with all the rooms built underground.
