Daniel and I have just arrived in Coober Pedy after a lazy 5.5 hour drive from Port Augusta. We spent our first night in the tent last night and it was actually pretty comfortable....even when it rained. Our new inflatable mattress is heaps better than a foam mat or bare sleeping bag. Loving it!
Today's drive was mainly kilometres and kilometres of desert scrub. Lots of gorgeous red dirt and very determined shrubs. I almost ran over a sheep and her lambs that were about to cross the Stuart Highway. I was on the lookout for cows and kangaroos and dingoes, but apart from roadkill there were none to be seen.
This morning Daniel collected some sea water from the ocean at Port Augusta. The plan is to take it all the way to Darwin. I reckon that by the time we arrive in Alice Springs tomorrow, we'll be halfway there.
